MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center has received a $6 million gift from a former Laguna Woods resident and philanthropist, with the contribution supporting palliative, hospice and geriatric emergency care.
The gift comes from the late Marilyn V. Adams. In her name, Saddleback Medical Center is dedicating two initiatives in her name: the Marilyn V. Adams Geriatric Emergency Program and the Marilyn V. Adams Comfort Care Fund.
“Marilyn was a truly remarkable woman — quietly generous, deeply compassionate and always thinking of others,” said Maureen Burt, trustee for Marilyn V.
