Thus far, the Foundation has generated over $6 million in new gift income for the three projects. “Self Regional Healthcare is our hospital. We know how important it is to have a premier healthcare provider right here in our community for our employees and our families. That’s why our company has made this significant gift” said John Davidson, Greenwood Site Director for Lonza.
