Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital Foundation in California, US, has received a $10m support from Henry and Marilyn Hansel to establish the Hansel Family Care Center.

This facility is set to broaden care services for Sonoma County residents.

Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital Foundation chief philanthropy officer Rebecca Kendall said: “Memorial Hospital was built by philanthropy and has relied on visionary gifts like the Hansels’ for every major milestone in our 75-year history.”

Constructed in 2020, the Hansel Family Care Center is situated opposite the Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and will become a new healthcare hub in the North Bay region.

The donation from the Hansels marks the start of the Caring Together initiative, a $20m fundraising effort to complete the site and construct a new women’s health centre.

Henry Hansel said: “Our family has deep roots in this community, and Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital has been there for us and our neighbours through good times and challenging times.

Upon completion, the Hansel Family Care Center will introduce two new major facilities.

The first floor will host an imaging centre, including the Marilyn Hess Hansel Breast Imaging Suite, equipped with the latest imaging technology.

The fourth floor will be dedicated to a cardiology centre, part of the Evert and Norma Person Heart and Vascular Institute at Providence Santa Rosa Memorial.

Additionally, the Caring Together initiative will support the establishment of a women’s health centre at the Henry Trione Medical Arts Plaza.

A feature of this centre will be a breast cancer programme spearheaded by breast surgeon Lisa Tito.
