Providence Santa Rosa (Calif.) Memorial Hospital Foundation has received a $5 million gift from Norma Person to establish the Dr. John B. Reed Center for Cardiology.
The center will be located within the Hansel Family Care Center and serve as a cardiovascular hub for Northern California, according to an Aug. 1 news release. It will honor Dr. Reed, Sonoma County’s first cardiologist, who has practiced in the community for more than five decades.
The gift supports the foundation’s Caring Together Initiative, which also aims to create a new imaging center and a women’s center. The donation brings the Person family’s lifetime giving to the hospital to $20 million.
Ms. Person made the contribution in memory of her late husband, Evert Person. The facility is expected to bring together clinicians, researchers and educators under one roof and expand access to advanced heart care in the region.
Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital is a designated Level II trauma center serving Sonoma County and the North Coast region.
