Hansel Family Donates $10 Million to Transform Healthcare in Sonoma County

Transformative Gift to Enhance Healthcare in Sonoma County

In a groundbreaking move for community healthcare, Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital Foundation has been blessed with a monumental $10 million donation from Henry and Marilyn Hansel. This contribution stands as the largest in the foundation's history and ranks among the most significant gifts ever made in Sonoma County. The generous donation aims to create the Hansel Family Care Center, a new facility designed to significantly improve healthcare access and services for residents of Sonoma County.

A Legacy of Community Support

The Hansel family has always been deeply intertwined with the fabric of Sonoma County. As long-time advocates for the Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, their commitment to community health shines through in this latest initiative. The new Hansel Family Care Center, strategically positioned at 1162 Montgomery Drive, is a testament to their philanthropic spirit and the foundation's mission to expand healthcare services. This center, established on the foundation laid back in 2020, sets the stage for a comprehensive expansion of both primary and specialty care services that have become increasingly essential as the community evolves.

According to Rebecca Kendall, the chief philanthropy officer at the hospital foundation, the Hansel family's generous gift will spearhead a new era of healthcare support. "Memorial Hospital was built by philanthropy and has relied on visionary gifts like the Hansels' for every major milestone in our 75-year history," she expressed.
