Ferrantino Family Foundation Gift 

– the latest to name a space in the new St. Joe’s 

St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor recently received a gift from long-time supporter 

the Ferrantino Family Foundation. This monumental gift, in support of St. Joe’s Renewal 

Campaign, will be recognized with the naming of a unit in the new East Tower: 3 East, The 

Ferrantino Family Pediatrics and Women’s Surgery Unit. 

“As parents, my wife, sisters and I know how important it is to have great health care 

for your children,” said Mike Ferrantino. “St. Joe’s is our hospital, we have received 

excellent care and we want to help the Hospital give that same level of care to other 

families. We hope that our gift will help families and kids go home from the Pediatric 

Unit happy and healthy.” 

For more than a decade, the Ferrantino Family Foundation and individual members of 

the family have supported St. Joe’s with the majority of their gifts aiding health care 

services and facility improvements to benefi t some of St. Joe’s youngest patients, 

including gifts for the Interactive Health Exploration Station at the St. Joseph Mercy 

Canton Health Center and the original Pediatric Playroom in the former Peds Unit at 

St. Joe’s Ann Arbor. 

The Foundation’s most 

recent gift supports 

components of the 

Patient Towers project 

– the pediatric 

inpatient unit and 

purchase of specialized 

equipment for that 

unit. In addition, a 

portion of their gift 

will aid improvement 

projects at the Health 

System’s Huron Woods 

residential facility for The Ferrantino Family Foundation’s gift will help to make a remarkable care 

experience for children on the Pediatric Unit. (Above), a young patient enjoying the

Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. 

“The Ferrantinos’ gift is not only incredibly generous, but it comes at time when support at this 

level will be especially inspiring to others,” said Camille B. Shy, SJMHS Vice President for 

Development. “We are truly grateful for their ongoing support.”

The Gift of Health 

Ferrantino Family Foundation Gifts – The latest to name a space in the new St. Joe’s (Continued from Cover) 

The Ferrantino family joins others who have made leadership-level gifts in support of the Renewal Campaign and who 

were recognized with the naming of either the facility they supported or a prominent area within the facility: 

• Longtime Manchester residents and donors to the elderly care program at SJMH, James and Virginia Hendley were the 

benefactors of a $4.5 million bequest to the Hospital, the largest in the Hospital’s history. Of that gift, $1 million was 

earmarked for the Patient Towers project. The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit on 4 East was named in 

memory of the Hendleys. 

• The Helen and Marion S. DeWeese, MD, Surgery Pavilion was named by Dudley and Dawn Holmes and their 

children Heather, Kevin and Scott. Mrs. Holmes’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. DeWeese, shared a love of Ann Arbor, 

dedication to the advancement of surgical care and commitment to St. Joe’s. This gift in memory of Dr. DeWeese and 

honor of Mrs. DeWeese recognizes a commitment that spans generations and pays tribute to the legacy that the couple 

built together. 

• The Harry A. and Margaret D. Towsley Foundation made a pledge of $1.5 million. In recognition of this gift, the 

medicine unit on 9 East carries the Towsley name, which also graces the Hospital’s Senior Health Building and Breast 

Care Services at the Women’s Health Center. Each of these namings serves to honor the Towsleys and is a reminder of 

the generosity and dedication that the couple showed St. Joe’s during their lifetime. 

• The naming of the Warren R. and Lauraine A. Hoensheid Cancer Center at Woodland recognizes Mrs. Hoensheid’s gifts 

made in memory of her husband to support the first facility of its kind in Livingston County. To date, Mrs. Hoensheid’s 

gifts have surpassed $1 million to help build the Cancer Center and provide patients in the area with access to state-of- 

the-art treatments, innovative services, compassionate care and new hope. 

• Pulte Homes, Inc. named the Infusion Clinic in the Hoensheid Cancer Center. The company’s gift of $1 million helped 

to build a larger clinic that has a healing atmosphere for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The new clinic helps 

to meet patients’ needs for treatment close to home. 

• The new medical intensive care and medicine unit on 10 East has been named in memory of Dr. Shankar 

Palaniappan, a dedicated medical resident with a promising future in internal medicine who died suddenly in the fall 

of 2005. His parents, Dr. Ramanathan and Mrs. Vasantha Palaniappan made their gift of $1 million with the hope 

that the residents, nurses and physicians at SJMH who worked with Shankar will remember their son fondly. 

• Dedicated supporters Robert and Ellen Thompson (for whom the Women’s Health Center at St. Joe’s in Ann Arbor 

is named) have made a pledge of $1.5 million to the Renewal Campaign. In keeping with Mr. and Mrs. Thompson’s 

dedication to improving women’s health within the community, the couple’s gift was earmarked for the 

development and implementation of the digital mammography program at St. Joe’s Ann Arbor. Naming options 

are currently being considered.

Renewal Campaign Status 

The Saint Joseph Mercy Health System Renewal Campaign, the largest fund-raising campaign in the history of the Health 

System, was launched in 2002 and will be complete in 2011 – the same year SJMHS celebrates 100 years of serving the 

community. To date, contributions to the Campaign total nearly $67 million. Campaign leaders include SJMHS Development 

Council Chair Bill Holmes and SJMH Major Gifts Committee Co-chairs Bryan Amann and Walter M. Whitehouse, Jr., M.D. 

Gifts have benefited several key projects supported by the Campaign including the construction of the Patient Towers 

and DeWeese Surgery Pavilion at St. Joe’s in Ann Arbor, the addition of 

the Community Health Pavilion at St. Joseph Mercy Saline Hospital and 

the creation of the Warren R. and Lauraine A. Hoensheid Cancer Center 

at the Woodland Health Center in Brighton. 

Community Health Pavilion at St. Joseph Mercy Saline 

With the final steel beam being laid this past spring, construction crews 

have completed the placement of structural steel – the bones of the 

Hospital’s new addition. Roofing and enclosing the building and then 

completing the interior walls and finishes will be the focus of construction 

activity as the summer concludes. 

Once it opens later this fall, the Community Health Pavilion will serve as the new “front door” to the Hospital and as a gateway to all 

the services that SJMHS has to offer. The new facility will provide direct access 

to expanded imaging and laboratory services, and will feature a new pharmacy, 

gift shop, visitor seating area and a 145-seat community room for meetings, 

lectures and community events. 

North Tower and Chapel at St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor 

Interior work (drywall, painting, flooring and cabinet and fixture installation) 

continued throughout the North Tower’s seven floors over the summer. One 

standout is the work being done on 1 North, the first floor of the new facility that 

will house enhanced consumer services for visitors, patients and staff. 

When the North Tower is complete in May 2010, our guests will enjoy shopping in 

a new and expanded hospital gift shop and pharmacy, and relaxing with a beverage or snack in a 

bigger Joe’s Java coffee shop. New services will include a salon/spa and, opening in 2011, a full- 

service florist. 

Hoensheid Cancer Center 

With construction completed in 2006, the Hoensheid Cancer Center provides new hope for 

hundreds of cancer patients each year. The facility remains the only one of its kind in Livingston 

County to house a CT simulator and linear accelerator - essential pieces of equipment for today’s 

radiation treatment planning and therapy. Community support, not only helped to build this state- 

of-the-art facility and purchase advanced equipment, it has also aided in developing a leading-edge 

research program, providing support and education, and offering relief services to uninsured and 

underinsured patients.

2009 marks the celebration of two anniversaries for Saint Joseph Mercy Health System – 60 years for the 

St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Medical Auxiliary in Ann Arbor and 50 years for the St. Joseph Mercy Saline 

Hospital Auxiliary. 

Teams of dedicated volunteers, the Auxiliaries have each had hundreds of members throughout the years. 

Together, these committed individuals have helped to raise funds and provide volunteer services in the 

names of the two Hospitals. 

Over the years, the Auxiliaries’ funds have been raised through proceeds from the Hospitals’ gift shops; special 

events such as golf outings, bowling tournaments and luncheons; and a variety of special “day sales” that are 

patronized by the Hospitals’ physicians, staff and visitors, and offer merchandise such as crafts, jewelry, leather 

goods, books and holiday poinsettias. 

Since 2002, the SJMH Medical Auxiliary’s efforts have supported the Renewal Campaign with gifts totaling 

more than $978,000 to benefit the Patient Towers project in Ann Arbor, a variety of services and programs for 

at-risk patients who lack insurance or financial means, and the Auxiliary Endowment fund that will help to 

carry their mission forward in perpetuity. 

The St. Joe’s Saline Auxiliary’s giving has reached more than $115,000 in support of the Hospital’s Renewal 

Campaign projects, including the purchase of advanced imaging equipment and the construction of the Imaging 

Center and Community Health Pavilion.

2009 St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Golf Classic 

This year, golfers generously supported services for uninsured and underinsured 

patients at the Hoensheid Cancer Center in Brighton. Chaired by Sandy 

Radtke-Gerkin, a committee of volunteers secured sponsorships and gifts 

totaling more than $30,000 from Livingston County donors. Players took to 

the links at either the St. Joe’s Pro Am Golf Classic held in Canton or the 

St. Joseph Mercy Saline Golf Classic in Saline.

2009 St. Joe’s Pro Am Golf Classic 

With generous support from sponsors and volunteers, the 2009 St. Joe’s Pro 

Am Golf Classic raised more than $126,000. The event, chaired by Bill 

Broucek, Jr., was held on June 17 at Pheasant Run Golf Club in Canton. 

Nearly 170 players joined 42 Michigan PGA Professionals for this successful 

Pro Am that benefited the St. Joseph Mercy Canton Center for Advanced 

Medicine and Surgery project scheduled for completion this fall. 

Several celebrity friends joined the teams for a day of golf, including Ted 

Linsdsay, Pro Am chair emeritus and a former player for both the Detroit 

Red Wings and Chicago Black Hawks; former Detroit Red Wings player 

and assistant coach Joe Kocur; Jeff Lesson host of “Lesson on Golf” from 

WWJ Newsradio 950 and “The Ticket” on 97.1 FM; and Anaheim Ducks 

defenseman James Wisniewski. 

“This was an inspiring year – despite the economic downturn and the
