Legacy of support continues

In 2011, Conrad Prebys donated $45 million toward the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. He also made a $10 million donation in 2006 to support construction of the Conrad Prebys Emergency and Trauma Center at Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego.

"We are deeply grateful to Conrad Prebys for his leadership and altruism in supporting important health care improvements for the people of San Diego County," said John Engle, Scripps corporate senior vice president and chief development officer. "We hope others will follow Conrad's example and make a philanthropic gift to support the new cancer center. Every donation makes a difference in our patients' lives."

Prebys Cancer Center is funded through a combination of philanthropy, borrowing and operating revenue. For more information on ways to support Prebys Cancer Center, visit www.scripps.org/SupportCancerCare.
