One of their most meaningful gifts was supporting upgrades to patient rooms on the Oncology floor at the Baker Downtown Hospital. They also have shared their time and talent. Together they served as honorary co-chairs for the NCH Annual Ball in 2018 and Diane, who had a 25-year career in nursing, has been an invaluable member of the Philanthropy Committee.

With Diane’s personal connection to health care and Dan’s distinctive experience as the CEO of a global employee benefits firm – the two know how to spot a big vision with the potential for extraordinary impact. That happened in a profound way when they learned about plans for a new world-class heart and stroke center at NCH.

“We’ve been in Naples for nearly 25 years and have been honored to support many amazing causes, but the heart and stroke center is one of the most visionary and important projects we’ve seen,” Diane said. “We wanted to give at a more significant level to help make world-class critical care a reality.”
Dan and Diane had already included NCH in their estate plan as members of the NCH Banyan Society, so they knew about the power of leaving a legacy with a planned gift. They simply want to have an even greater impact. “When we revisited our estate plan with this project in mind, we realized we could utilize planned giving to stretch our capacity. It’s actually a gift to us to be able to see our resources put into such meaningful action while we are here, living an amazing life in this community.”
