AUSTIN, Texas - (Sept. 22, 2011) - Seton Medical Center
Austin received a $1 million donation from the Michael
& Susan Dell Foundation for the development of a center
dedicated to breast cancer detection, treatment and recovery at
the hospital. The Dell family foundation's support brings Seton
Austin closer to realizing its goal to fund the creation of the
state-of-the art $6.5 million Seton Breast Cancer Center.
The gift was presented at a charitable
shopping event hosted by Susan and Craig Lubin and Candace
and Michael Partridge at Ralph Lauren in The Domain.
Michael and Susan Dell presented the gift in honor of
their friends, Dr. Craig Lubin and his wife, Susan, a
breast cancer survivor and co-chair of the Seton Breast
Cancer Center steering committee.
'It is through the generosity of donors like the Michael &
Susan Dell Foundation and the leadership of local advocates
like the Lubins that we can begin to develop a world class
breast cancer center that Central Texas deserves," said Greg
Hartman, president and chief executive officer of Seton Medical
Center Austin.
The vision for the center at Seton Austin is
to provide a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to
breast cancer care that ties together the best technology,
doctors, personal attention and support, from mammography
through treatment and recovery.
In addition to the gift from the Michael & Susan Dell
Foundation, 15 percent of sales from the Ralph Lauren event
were donated to the project.
