Press release from Northwell Health: Nov. 13, 2020 Peter and Daphne Hoffman of Brightwaters, NY with Eric and Joan Hoffman of Seoul, South Korea donated $1 million to Northwell Health's Outpacing the Impossible campaign. Peter is vice chair of philanthropy on the board of South Shore University Hospital. The gift, which was announced at the October 20 press conference unveiling plans for a $500 million transformation of the South Shore University Hospital campus, is in honor of the Hoffman's parents, Dr. William and Anna Hoffman. Dr. Hoffman was previously chair of medicine at what was then Southside Hospital. "The transformation of this community hospital into a growing exceptional tertiary care facility serving all of Suffolk County, coupled with the significant role the hospital has played in our lives for four generations, inspired our family to make this donation to further benefit Northwell Health's vision for health care in this region," Mr. Hoffman said. Northwell Health is more than halfway to its $1 billion goal for its Outpacing the Impossible campaign, which supports capital projects, improves hospitals and clinical programs, advances research and funds endowment for teaching and research initiatives.
