“After my wife, Lisa, died in April 2015, I wanted my estate to honor her and go to organizations that were important to both of us,” said 2016 inductee Walter Clare. “We both valued the very important role that Norton Children’s Hospital plays throughout the commonwealth.”
These donors join 72 other families and individuals who have committed to support the work of Norton Healthcare and Norton Children’s Hospital. The Wade Mountz Heritage Society has raised over $40 million since its inception.
