Fueling the future of care

We are honored to recognize the profound generosity of dedicated donors who have recently made legacy gifts to enhance patient care at Providence St. Jude Medical Center.

Helpful Neighbors: John and Jeanette Svet

Longtime residents of Brea and loyal supporters of Providence St. Jude since 1993, the Svet family has left an indelible mark on the broader community. Their recent gift will further advance technology and innovation at the medical center, a fitting continuation of their decades-long commitment to supporting groundbreaking initiatives.

The Svets have been instrumental in advancing community health, cardiac services and cancer care, among other areas. They have also been ardent supporters of the Neighbors Helping Neighbors event for nearly 20 years.  Their philanthropic spirit has also driven advancements in the Southwest and Northwest patient towers during our capital campaigns.

Generous Heart: Nancy Huebotter

For Nancy Huebotter, volunteerism at Providence St. Jude Medical Center is more than just a commitment; it’s a cherished family tradition. Nancy began her journey of service in 1985, working side by side with her mother, Elizabeth, who had already been volunteering since 1971. Together, they dedicated countless hours to supporting the hospital and its patients, forming a bond through shared purpose and compassion.

Since 1998, Nancy has been a loyal supporter of numerous hospital initiatives. Her recent legacy gift will support the area of greatest need, ensuring that the hospital continues to provide exceptional care to all who walk through its doors.
