Dana Anderson makes $10 million gift commitment

Lawrence resident Dana Anderson made a $10 million gift commitment to the LMH Health Foundation. The commitment is the largest in both the foundation’s 53-year history and the hospital’s 102-year history.

Anderson and his late wife, Sue, have been longtime supporters of LMH Health, a not-for-profit community hospital serving patients in Douglas County and the surrounding area. LMH Health has renamed the Lawrence Health Plaza the Anderson Health Plaza in honor of Sue and Dana’s longtime and generous support.

Earl Reineman, major and planned gifts manager for the foundation, said the gift is a tremendous honor for the hospital and the community.

“The leadership and generosity that Dana and Sue have provided over the years has been nothing short of inspirational,” said Reineman. “In so many different ways, the Andersons have supported the hospital’s commitment to exceptional care for all.”

“The gift will support vital hospital needs,” said Anderson. “And it’s the perfect way for the family to recognize the giving spirit that Sue worked to instill in all of us. We know how proud she would be to see this happen. She always recognized the importance of LMH Health to the quality of life in Douglas County.”
