The Lundquist Endowment
Thanks to the generosity of Melanie and Richard Lundquist, South Bay residents
have access to state-of-the-art technology, the latest cardiovascular
treatments, and a diverse array of early detection and prevention. Their
$10 million gift helped fund the new cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology
labs, a vascular surgery suite and an enhanced intensive care unit. Endowment
funds will also support awareness and prevention programs. Another gift
of $3 million allowed the expansion of the
emergency room, which is also named in honor of the Lundquists.
