Wealthy donors who give millions to hospitals in the metro area can expect to be remembered for their gifts with a building bearing their names.

A $15 million gift last year from Ed and Mary Firstenburg led Southwest Washington Medical Center to name its new building the Firstenburg Patient Tower.

For a $20 million donation, Providence Portland will name its new cancer-care building in someone's honor.

And the name on the Biomedical Research Building at Oregon Health & Science University can be ensured for $35 million.

Even donors on smaller budgets can name new floors, labs, chapels, chairs or decorative tiles in these buildings for gifts from $10 million to as little as $125."
