FOR OVER 45 YEARS, THE HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION has worked together with Sarasota Memorial Health Care System to ensure a healthy future for our community through meaningful grants. The Healthcare Foundation is currently fundraising for two major healthcare initiatives at Sarasota Memorial: Bringing hope to patients and families facing cancer: The Leading with Care campaign is generating support for the Brian D. Jellison Cancer Institute so that cancer patients can receive comprehensive care close to home. The first two phases are complete. The Radiation Oncology Center opened in 2020 and the Oncology Tower on the SMH-Sarasota Campus opened in November. Planning is under way for an outpatient pavilion on the SMH-Sarasota campus and a cancer care center on the SMH-Venice campus. Supporting those struggling with anxiety, depression and other mental health issues: The Healthcare Foundation recently announced a transformational gift to support the creation of the Cornell Family Behavioral Health Pavilion at SMH. Slated to begin construction early 2022, the new facility will enhance, expand and centralize care for people of all ages affected by mental and behavioral health challenges
