ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Tim Tebow Foundation and CURE International are teaming up to build a children’s hospital in the Philippines, where the Denver Broncos quarterback was born.
The Tebow CURE Hospital in Davao City on the island of Mindanao, a particularly poor area of the Philippines, will be a 30-bed surgical facility focusing on orthopedics.
The groundbreaking will be held in January and the $3 million hospital is expected to open in 2013.
Tebow said Tuesday that although he’s getting ready for a big game against the New York Jets on Thursday night, “ultimately that (hospital announcement) might be the coolest thing I’m doing this week.”
