Coborn Family Foundation makes $1-million gift to CentraCare Health Survivorship Center
CentraCare Health Foundation announces a $1-million gift from the Coborn Family Foundation to CentraCare Health. The Coborn Family Foundation’s gift will be used to establish a survivorship center at CentraCare Health Plaza, adjacent to the current Coborn Cancer Center.
“Every guest who comes into our stores has been touched by cancer in some way. With the growing demand for more comprehensive survivorship care, we believe it is fitting to help establish this center to help strengthen the overall care of our community,” says Coborn’s President, Chairman and CEO Chris Coborn. “We are proud of the level of care that CentraCare Health provides and the vital role it plays every day in caring for those touched by cancer. Our family recently has experienced this remarkable care firsthand, and we are grateful for the medical expertise and support that we have received. We are thankful for the community’s support of the Coborn’s company over the years, and we appreciate this opportunity to give back.”
Wellness and integrative therapies including yoga, mindfulness, acupuncture, massage, Healing Touch and other therapeutic options will be just a few of the service offerings provided within the new building.
Ken Holmen, MD, CentraCare Health President & CEO says, “With a grateful heart, we say THANK YOU to the Coborn Family Foundation for this significant gift to support our new Survivorship Center. This program assists cancer patients, and their families, as they live their life to the fullest during and after their diagnosis and treatment. CentraCare Health, and the community, is most appreciative of the legacy and commitment of the Coborn Family Foundation, Coborn’s, Inc. and their employees to CentraCare Health.”
