Renovation of the entire third floor cost approximately $1.1 million, including the building project and equipment. With initial gifts from Jon’s friends Phil Saunders, Kent Johnson and Les Cole, and a larger group of donors inspired by their generosity, the fund is already gaining momentum. All donations made so far in Jon Shay’s memory will be dedicated to the project. Completed in August 2022, the entire floor has been renamed the Jon Shay Medical Surgical Unit. The Jon Shay Fund will continue to benefit the hospital and future projects.
