Simon Foundation Legacy Continues
It’s an understatement to say that the William E. Simon Foundation is a benevolent donor to Morristown Medical Center. There’s the gift the family made more than 20 years ago to name the Carol G. Simon Cancer Center after their beloved mother. Then came the longstanding and generous support of Project Independence, a relief fund that helps hospital patients and their families. After that, additional gifts were made supporting the Child Development and Autism Center at Goryeb Children’s Hospital, The Yarnis Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Rehabilitation Center and Women’s Health.
The latest example – a $1 million grant to support the Growing Forward Campaign’s renovations at the Simon Cancer Center – will help redesign the facility, making it easier for patients to navigate their care in one location.
“We have been helpful and generous to the hospital for more than 40 years,” says Peter Simon, managing partner at Massey Quick Simon & Co., LLC, co-founder of William E. Simon & Sons and former chairman of the Foundation for Morristown Medical Center’s board of trustees. “There’s been so many major gifts, I’ve lost count.”
That’s because when the Simon family sees a need, they’re quick to fill it. “Our family is glad to be a part of the latest campaign and strategic needs, as we are happy to be able to be generous,” says Mr. Simon.
