The donor, a Danbury resident, said he will donate an additional $20 million and reveal his identity if the goal is met.
“Danbury Hospital provides my family and our region with world-class healthcare that rivals the best academic medical centers in America," the donor said in a statement. "It’s an organization that can serve as a national model for personalizing exceptional care in a cost-efficient manner. I hope that my donation and challenge inspire many others to make similar contributions to our community’s health.”
Through its Imagine Build Transform campaign, Western Connecticut Health Network is reimagining and expanding facilities to increase access to high quality care and ensure that it is responsive to patient needs. The campaign’s priorities include investments in facilities, research and technologies at Danbury Hospital, New Milford Hospital and the WCHN Biomedical Research Institute.
“We are exceedingly grateful to this generous donor who has made the largest commitment in our history and wishes to inspire others to enhance healthcare in our community,” says Grace Linhard, executive director and vice president of the WCHN Foundation. “Now, we need every grateful patient, business and community member to make a gift so we can realize our campaign goal. We only need $10 million more to meet this incredible challenge.”
WCHN includes Danbury Hospital and New Milford Hospital.
