Chris and Meggie Bellissimo are pledging $100,000 to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation’s Because of YOU campaign, supporting the construction of the new Stevenson Memorial Hospital.
In recognition of the family’s commitment, the Bellissimos will have the opportunity to name a patient room in the new hospital, creating a lasting legacy while supporting healthcare in the community.
Chris Bellissimo says the pledge represents an investment in both the community’s future and the healthcare needs of generations to come.
“We wanted to do something that would have a lasting impact on our community and our family,” says Chris Bellissimo. “We hope our commitment inspires other families to come forward and be part of building the new Stevenson Memorial Hospital. This is a hospital that will serve our community for generations, and we all have an opportunity to help make that future possible.”
The Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation is raising $80 million through the Because of YOU campaign to support the community’s share of the redevelopment, including equipment, furniture and fixtures needed for the new hospital.
“Chris and Meggie’s generosity is a wonderful example of community leadership and what it means to invest in the future of a community,” says Dr. Ted Vandevis, CEO of the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation. “Their commitment is not only helping us bring the new hospital to life, but also sending an important message to other families: this is your hospital too, and there is a place for everyone in helping make it possible.”
The Bellissimo family’s pledge is one of several commitments supporting the Because of YOU campaign as construction of the new Stevenson Memorial Hospital progresses.
