Y-NH Cancer Center named for Smilow ’54
As Joel Smilow ’54 stood at the podium during a press conference Wednesday to speak about a donation he made recently to the Yale-New Haven Hospital — the largest gift the hospital has ever received — he said he has been brought to tears by cancer twice this week.
The first time, he found out that the son of a friend from business school had died from cancer. The second time — yesterday at the presentation — he broke down after hearing a cancer survivor tell his story.
