Sanford Health announced on Wednesday during a groundbreaking ceremony for a new children?s hospital building that Mitchell, South Dakota native and NBA player Mike Miller and his wife Jennifer are donating $1 million to help ill children.  The money will establish the Mike and Jennifer Miller Endowment Fund which will provide support for Sanford Children?s Hospital.  Out of tremendous gratitude, Sanford has named its pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) the Mike and Jennifer Miller Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

?Everybody in South Dakota knows Mike as a basketball player,? says Sanford Health president and CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft.  ?Mike and Jen will long be remembered for their charity and philanthropy. Mike?s basketball life is being used for much more than what people see...he and Jen are going to directly impact the lives of children and families. Mike and his family are a blessing to our region and its people.?
