Donor support has allowed Hoag Hospital Foundation to establish new endowed
chairs in Orthopedic Surgery and Urologic Oncology.
James T. Caillouette, M.D., was named the Joan & Andy Fimiano Endowed
Chair in Orthopedic Surgery thanks to a transformational gift from the
Fimianos. Jeffrey S. Yoshida, M.D., has been named the Benjamin &
Carmela Du Endowed Chair in Urologic Oncology, made possible by the Du
family’s generous $2.25 million gift.
While endowed chairs historically have been associated with academic institutions,
Hoag now has eleven endowed chairs. Collectively, they are enabling Hoag
to make significant strides in expanding and enhancing research programs
and treatment in cancer, cardiac care, memory loss and cognitive impairment,
neurosciences, cardiovascular surgery, gastrointestinal disease, diabetes,
breast care, and women’s health services.
