The Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation has announced a $10 million commitment from Jersey Mike's founder and CEO Peter Cancro and his wife, Tatiana, in support of Hackensack Meridian Health.

Hackensack Meridian Health is the largest and most integrated health network in New Jersey, comprised of seventeen hospitals including three academic medical centers. Cancro is chairman emeritus of Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center Foundation's board of trustees. He and his family are longtime supporters of the health network and have contributed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center's HOPE Tower Project, Trauma Center, Transforming Care Campaign, the medical center's Annual Golf Classics and Annual Foundation Gala events, and Hackensack Meridian Ocean Medical Center's emergency department expansion.

"Philanthropy has been a part of my life and a guiding principle of Jersey Mike's success," said Cancro. "Tatiana and I are pleased to be able to support Hackensack Meridian Health. To this day, I emphasize the importance of giving to my team: support the community that supports you. Hackensack Meridian Health has been a true pillar for our community, and our entire state, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. It was important for Tatiana and me to give back to those who continue to do so much to provide constant care through such unprecedented and challenging times."
