George Schaeffer, Founder, President, and CEO of OPI Products, Inc, and CEO of Aloxxi International, has given a major gift to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. When the hospital's Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion opens in 2013, its lobby will be named after him.
"Cedars-Sinai is my neighborhood hospital of choice and the great doctors and staff have provided wonderful care for me and my family; this is my way of saying thank you," says Schaeffer. "This building will open a new gateway to the Medical Center and bring patients and research together under one roof in a way that is exciting to the hospital and beneficial to patients near and far. I am convinced of the promise of Cedars-Sinai as a leading force in medicine and it is a privilege to express my faith in the future through this gift."
"This visionary gift from George Schaeffer demonstrates forward-thinking philanthropy," says Arthur J. Ochoa, Senior Vice President for Community Relations and Development. "It provides critical support for novel ideas that fosters advanced medical care."
