medicine, our cancer center has relied on increased

Clifford & LaVonne
Graese Foundation

Clifford and LaVonne Graese’s support of Orlando
Health began in 1988, but their family’s commitment
to enhancing patient care became more personal when
Clifford was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Seeing
the need for a resource center on the hospital campus,
building a library became Clifford’s dream. Through a
major gift, the Clifford E. Graese Community Health
Library was established in 2000. The library and its staff
help patients, family members, healthcare professionals
and community members better understand a
healthcare diagnosis. In recent years, the library has
evolved into a large network of electronic resources.
Having since passed, Clifford and LaVonne’s children
Diane Graese, Sally Daugherty, Susan Alfirevic and
Larry Graese continue to support the library through
generous gifts.

Clifford E. Graese Leonard Williams with Naren R. Ramakrishna, MD, PhD

Williams Family
Foundation

The Williams Family Foundation has been
instrumental in bringing proton therapy to Orlando
Health through the construction of the Marjorie and
Leonard Williams Center for Proton Therapy. Funded
through philanthropy by Leonard Williams, the center
opened in April 2016 and served its 500th patient last
year. Leonard brought this cutting-edge treatment to
Central Florida in tribute to his late wife, Marjorie.
Proton therapy is a form of radiation treatment that
delivers a precise dose directly to the tumor, shrinking
the tumor while sparing the surrounding, healthy
tissue. The result is a better option for treating some
types of cancer, especially pediatric and adult cancers
near vital organs. The center has had a major impact
on the Central Florida community, offering leading-
edge technology to improve cancer care and reduce
traditional treatment side effects.

Bert W. Martin
Foundation

The Bert W. Martin Foundation has been transforming
care at Orlando Health since 1988, most often funding
projects that require ongoing, long-term support.
Since their first gift as part of the campaign to build
Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children,
the foundation has provided nearly $9.5 million in
critical funding. Their support has helped Orlando
Health build the Bert Martin’s Champions for Children
Emergency Department & Trauma Center as well as the
Warden Burn Center, the only verified burn center in
Orlando. Without the Bert W. Martin Foundation and
the extended Warden Family, Central Florida would
not have the critical care resources Orlando Health
needs every day to provide expert healthcare for our
community.

Bert W. Martin Foundation Board Member, Andy Warden, David & Linda
and his wife, Diana Warden Hughes

David and Linda Hughes have partnered with Orlando
Health to provide comprehensive, quality healthcare.
Their dedicated involvement in the Central Florida
community can be seen through their generous support
of every major effort Orlando Health has launched
in the last several decades. These efforts include the
original construction of Orlando Health Arnold
Palmer Hospital for Children and Orlando Health
Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies, as well
as the expansion of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit,
the newest patient tower at Orlando Health Orlando
Regional Medical Center and support for the expansion
of our Level One Trauma Center. As philanthropic
leaders in our community, the Hughes’ have remained
dedicated to our mission for more than 30 years.

Jonathan and Krista
Ledden

When Jonathan and Krista Ledden moved to Central
Florida in 2014, they dedicated themselves to giving
back to their new community. After joining the
Orlando Ballet Board, they soon became connected
with the ballet’s medical provider, Orlando Health.
Jonathan recognizes the importance of having a
trauma center close by for critical care cases after
seeing his father suffer from a critical dissecting aortic
aneurysm when he was only 13 years old. It is because
of that incident that Jonathan and Krista have become
instrumental in making sure acute care is available to
everyone in our community. Their commitment to
expand our trauma services will be felt throughout
Central Florida for decades to come.

Steve and Deborah
Schrimsher

Steve and Deborah Schrimsher have been connected to
Orlando Health since the birth of their three children,
all born at Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical
Center. Steve became more closely connected through
his service on the Orlando Health Foundation Board
and Deborah spent time volunteering in the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer
Hospital for Women & Babies. Through the decades,
the Schrimsher’s have financially supported the
Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children
Endowment Fund and the Orlando Health UF
Health Cancer Center, where Steve’s mother received
treatment. Most recently, a gift made through their
company, Schrimsher Properties, is slated to impact the
expansion of our Level One Trauma Center. “We believe
that it is our responsibility to take care of our neighbors
and our community in their greatest time of need,” said
Steve and Deborah. “We are very blessed to have a Level
One Trauma Center here in Orlando and it brings us
great joy to help provide for the care they give.”

THE DISNEY Together with Disney, Orlando Health Arnold Palmer
CHILDREN’S HOSPITALS Hospital for Children’s clinical and professional teams
built a state-of-the-art, interactive Disney-themed
PROGRAM BRINGS environment for young patients and their families.

Magic to Children Thanks to the team at Disney, Orlando Health
and Families Arnold Palmer has been incorporating an
array of transformative patient experiences -
from low-tech elements such as Disney-themed
Starlight Gowns and care packages, to high-
tech installments such as interactive murals
and digital artwork integrated throughout
our facility. These elements, along with the
storied expertise and collaboration of teams
across Disney, have brought to life the magic
of Disney for kids undergoing a stay within
our walls.

The transformational projects have been focused in
areas where children and their families experience the
greatest amount of stress. Children undergoing in-
patient treatment are especially in need of unique and
specialized services to help calm and ease stress while
they go through the oftentimes scary procedures related
to their care.

Chicago in search of a new vehicle. Although general

Fields “took the up” and helped Amy take a test drive. As Amy
left, having not purchased a new car that day, Dan asked
her out on a date. Amy turned him down on the spot
and Dan left town for two-weeks on a family vacation to
Alaska. However, undeterred, Dan returned to Chicago
and asked Amy to dinner one more time. On their
first date, Dan and Amy talked for hours, surprised to
see everyone but the staff had left for the evening as
the restaurant’s lights dimmed. The rest, as they say, is
history.

Throughout their marriage, Amy and Dan have made
an impeccable team. Dan has served as the President of
Fields Motorcars of Florida for the past 10 years, while
Amy has taken on the role of Community Relations for
the Fields Foundation. In addition to their professional
lives, they are also partners in raising their daughter,
Sammy, now four years old. (pictured right).

Dan’s family has held a deep belief in the
power of philanthropy for generations.
“Fields Auto Group started as just one little
dealership in Chicago, then one little group
of dealerships,” says Dan, “but as we grew,
my grandmother made sure the family
also gave back to our city. She taught us
that giving back is an obligation and a
responsibility to your community.”

For Amy, philanthropy has been woven into her life
since a young age. She grew up three blocks from
Michael Jordan and volunteered with his Chicago-
based foundation for years – from stuffing goodie bags
to leading the adult afterschool programs. Hearing
stories from her very own neighbors about how much
the support had changed their lives shaped Amy’s view
of the importance of giving back.
