The Hofmann Family Foundation has made a $25 million commitment to John Muir Health in Walnut Creek, California, in support of cancer care.

Part of the system’s Campaign to Conquer Cancer, the gift is focused on building awareness and raising funds in support of a facility dedicated to providing comprehensive cancer care, advancing research, and delivering compassionate support services. The largest gift ever to the health system will establish the UCSF-John Muir Health Jean and Ken Hofmann Cancer Center. The hub of the cancer network, located within the Behring Pavilion on the Walnut Creek Medical Center campus, will offer innovative, compassionate, and comprehensive patient-centered cancer care.

“We are honored to be part of this groundbreaking endeavor in the fight against cancer,” said Hofmann Family Foundation director Lisa Hofmann Morgan. “In naming the cancer center after our father and mother (a three-time cancer survivor), our wish is to inspire hope and resilience in every patient and family who entrusts their cancer care to University of California San Francisco Health and John Muir Health. Our gift is a testament to our belief in the power of collaborative efforts to make a lasting impact.”
