“When we saw the regional cancer center plans and the possibilities for this community, it was really important for us to be able to make a gift and inspire others. It’s going to be a very special place,” said Mary Heimann. “Our hope is that this becomes the second largest gift in Asante’s history, inspiring others to make an even bigger gift to make AsanteForward a success,” said Dick Heimann. A portion of the Heimann’s gift will help build a pediatric cancer clinic to help children facing cancer, in the new children’s hospital-within-a-hospital in the patient pavilion under construction at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center. Additionally, the Heimann Medical Chair endowment will help Asante recruit and retain top medical leaders for cancer care. “The projects behind AsanteForward are made possible because of philanthropy. In its third year, the $50 million capital campaign has surpassed the $25 million milestone as a result of this gift. We continue to be amazed by the community’s response to help Asante meet the most urgent needs. Thank you,” said Andrea Reeder, Campaign Director, Asante Foundation.
