greeted by specially trained staff members at Entrance A, who will help them from their cars, guide them to the area of the hospital they need to visit and direct drivers to the neighboring P1 parking garage. All parking is complimentary. In January, hundreds of employees, donors and community members gathered in the pavilion to celebrate, tour the space and commemorate this historic moment.
“It’s remarkable to know that the vision of community leaders in the 1950s, who helped build this original
hospital, continues today. This would not have been possible without the thousands of donors who contributed to this transformational project. As your non-profit, community-owned and -governed health system, we’re grateful for the support we continue to receive. It takes community participation at every level,” said Andrea Reeder, senior vice president and chief philanthropy officer at Asante. Construction began in October
2020. The cost to build the pavilion was $455 million,
supported through philanthropy, bonds and capital funds. Though construction is complete, the opportunity to support these
services and programs in our community continues. To learn more and get involved, visit AsanteFoundation.org .
