John W. Estabrook

The naming of Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center honors John W. Estabrook’s service to Methodist Health System.

Josie Harper
1925-1999

Josie Harper was a beloved wife, mother and grandmother who lost her life to lung cancer. Special gifts from The Harper Family Foundation established Josie Harper Hallways of Hope on the third floor of Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center and Harper’s Hope, Omaha’s first cancer survivorship program. The gifts provided by the Harper family honor Josie’s memory while enhancing the quality of life for cancer survivors in the Omaha community.

It is through our SHAREholders’ spirit of giving that Methodist Hospital Foundation provides community members with excellence in health care and health care education. Methodist Hospital Foundation’s donor recognition program demonstrates our appreciation for our dedicated, loyal donors.

Gifts from the Heart

Gifts from the Heart is a commemorative giving program for gifts made in honor or in memory of someone special. After a gift has been made, Methodist Hospital Foundation sends a letter of acknowledgement to the family of the one remembered or to the person honored so that they are aware of the special gift.

Those honored or remembered with a Gift from the Heart are recognized in a commemorative album located at Methodist Hospital.

Naming Opportunities
