Andy and Anissa Patel, owners of the new IHOP restaurant in Cape Girardeau, recently donated $13,000 to SoutheastHEALTH Foundation -- $7,000 for breast cancer patients through the Southeast Cancer Center Patient Experience Fund and $6,000 for Southeast's new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and its Women's & Children's Services.

Several Cancer Center and NICU staff members turned out for the check presentation and ribbon cutting ceremony along with representatives of the Cape Girardeau Chamber of Commerce.
