Asante Foundation Hits $35M Milestone for AsanteForward Campaign Largest philanthropic effort in Southern Oregon surpasses expectations;
fueled by community support Medford, OR | February 9, 2022 | Press Release A sante Foundation has surpassed the $35 million milestone just four years in to its 10-year, $50 million capital campaign, AsanteForward. This is a result of 9,335 donors who’ve contributed to Asante to help improve the lives of the people who live in our community now and for generations to come. “The community continues to amaze us with its generosity and commitment to transforming health care in Southern Oregon,” said Andrea Reeder, director of campaign and operations at Asante Foundation. “Philanthropy enables Asante to expand its facilities and services for patients and enhance the programs and capabilities that happen within our walls.”
In 2021, Asante received the largest gift in its history — $5 million from Mary and Dick Heimann — whose names have a permanent mark on the new regional cancer center in Medford. Recently, other community leaders came forward with three historical gifts for AsanteForward: • George and Susan Alameda - $1 million toward the patient pavilion, naming the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). • J. Paul and Geertje de Vos - $1 million toward the Heimann Cancer Center, naming the healing garden. • Wanda Olsrud - $1 million toward the Heimann Cancer Center and children’s hospital-within-a-hospital in the patient pavilion.
