We are incredibly grateful for this extraordinary act of generosity!

The estate of Dante J. Molinary and Barbara Jeanne Molinary has made a historic $4.2 million gift—the largest ever received by MidState Medical Center. Because of their kindness, more patients in the greater Meriden community will have enhanced access to compassionate, high-quality cancer care.

This transformative gift will support the expansion of MidState’s Oncology Infusion Suite, creating a more comfortable, healing environment for patients and their families during treatment.

Their legacy will make a lasting difference in the lives of so many.

✨ Corinne O’Toole, MSN, RN, SANE-A ✨

Corinne established a legacy in trauma-informed and forensic nursing through an unwavering commitment to advancing survivor-centered care on the local, state and national levels. When she realized trauma and assault victims’ clothing is taken as evidence and patients were discharged in exam gowns, she organized clothing donations for local EDs and worked with community partners to secure a steady supply of clothes that are given free. She brings the same compassion to precepting new nurses, creating a safe, structured and encouraging learning environment.

Behind every patient, every family and every moment of care—there’s someone showing up with compassion.

Across our hospitals, more than 400 volunteers have given over 35,000 hours of their time to support our patients, families and care teams. Whether it’s offering a smile, a sense of calm or simply being present, your impact is felt in ways that go far beyond words.

To our volunteers—thank you. You are the heart of what we do, and because of you, caring truly never stops.
