West Bloomfield Hospital Opens

Philanthropy

Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital's cam-
paign goal is $100 million ($70 million for
capital and $30 million for pro-
grams). There are 13 donors of $1
million or more.
Florine Mark, who donated the
Florine Mark Inpatient Unit for
Women's and Children's Health,
is chair of the Henry Ford West
Bloomfield Hospital Campaign.
Mark, president and chair of
the Farmington Hills-based WW
Florine Mark
Group, is the mother of five. She
also has two stepchildren and 23
grandchildren. "My passion and desire to
help others lead a healthy and active lifestyle
made Henry Ford Hospital the perfect fit for
me to be an advocate and contribute in any
way that I can:' she said.
Mark took on the $100 million fundraising
campaign because, she said, she "recognizes
how important it is to fund the hospital as
well as all of the things that are important to
make it run well."
"Underffinding," she said, "was just not a
choice. The campaign will allow the hospital
to pay off its debt and be the best hospital it
could possibly bet'
