Riverview receives $3 million from foundation
The Jane H. Booker Charitable Foundation recently made a gift of $3 million to Riverview Medical Center, Red Bank, with $2.3 million to be used to build an outpatient renal dialysis center.
The remaining $700,000 will be used as an endowment for patient care equipment for the first year of operation, and in subsequent years for transportation for renal outpatients at the center. The gift represents the largest gift to Riverview in its 75-year history.
The center will be on the first floor of the Blaisdell Pavilion and is part of Riverview’s $63 million expansion and renovation project, which began two years ago. The Booker Foundation donated $1 million in 2002 to aid in the creation of the Booker Radiation Oncology Center.
