Retired Boca Raton Regional Hospital Breast Surgeon Robyn Moncrief and her husband Alex Gellman have made a $2 million gift to Keeping the Promise … The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
The couple’s generosity brings the total funds raised through the Keeping the Promise campaign to $225 million toward its goal of $250 million and amplifies and symbolizes the enormous philanthropic commitment from the medical staff.
“Dr. Moncrief holds a special place in the hearts of so many of us here at the hospital and in this community,” said Lincoln Mendez, CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “As a breast surgeon, she has had enormous impact on patients and their family members who depended on her extraordinary skill to both save and enhance life. There is no greater accomplishment as a physician, as a person. Dr. Moncrief was part of the substantial growth of the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health and Wellness Institute before she retired to spend more time with her husband and their philanthropy. The gift she is making with her husband, philanthropist and businessman Alex Gellman, underscores their commitment to Boca Regional and to our bold vision to expand. We are eternally grateful.”
The gift from Dr. Moncrief and Mr. Gellman will be fittingly recognized in the new planned Sanctuary and will carry the name of Alex’s grandmother, Anne Brenner Gellman.
