Stevenson Memorial Hospital rendering (June, 2024)
The Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF) is celebrating the remarkable success of its Building Your Stevenson for Tomorrow, Together campaign, a $1 million matching gift initiative launched in partnership with Brian and Kathy Gibson.
This campaign began on September 1st, 2024, and has successfully doubled the impact of community donations towards the hospital’s vital redevelopment project. The overwhelming support from individuals, local businesses, and organizations has helped the foundation reach this significant milestone.
“Thanks to the incredible generosity of Brian and Kathy Gibson, and the passionate support from our community, we are thrilled to have reached this milestone,” says Frank Cerisano, CEO of the SMHF. “This success highlights the dedication and desire our community has to support strengthening local healthcare services.”
The funds raised will directly support the Because of YOU $80 million campaign, which aims to transform Stevenson Memorial Hospital into a modern and enhanced healthcare facility.
Brian and Kathy Gibson shared their motivation for supporting the initiative.
“We were proud to support Stevenson with this $1 million matching gift because supporting our hospital is our way of supporting our entire community and the people who call it home. With Kathy being born at Stevenson and both of us raised here, we truly believe that investing in our hospital is investing in the future of our community.”
The Because of YOU campaign is an effort to build the future of Stevenson Memorial Hospital. The transformational project will triple the size of the hospital, providing expanded emergency care, advanced diagnostic imaging (including the hospital’s first MRI suite), modern inpatient facilities, and specialized surgical services. As the hospital approaches its 100th anniversary in 2028, this project stands as a testament to the community’s enduring commitment to local healthcare.
