“Before most of the great buildings, the parks and streets and boulevards. Before the celebrated names and events. We’ve been here, helping Louisville’s most at-risk and vulnerable citizens — poor families, destitute mothers, and their children. We’ve been here because we believe in this city. We’ve been here because we believe in the promise and power of working together to make life richer, to improve society, to help the weak become strong, and to defend those in need. Above all, we’re here to ensure the health of the city’s children. We are Home of the Innocents. And we are the heart of our city.”
