Adult Cancer Institute is part of the $1 billion Discover the Difference: The Campaign for University Hospitals. With the Fowler family's gift, the support for UH's comprehensive fund-
raising campaign now totals over $780 million. More than 50,000 indi- viduals, foundations and corporations across the country have contributed to Discover the Difference since its quiet phase began in 2003. n
Adult Cancer Institute will include a new dedicated outpatient treatment facility and an expanded inpatient unit for pediatric and young adult patients, along with a rooftop garden and activity area with a beautiful panoramic view, offering a respite for patients and their families. The $17 million gift will add important resources specifically for patients between the ages of 13 and 29 and enhance the full continuum of care UH Rainbow offers this high-risk patient population. The Fowlers lost their daughter,
Angie, to melanoma nearly 30 years ago. Four years ago, in 2007, the Fowlers donated $1 million to UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital in memory of Angie to fund the first endowed chair in the United States dedicated to adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer, allowing Rainbow to recruit a nat ionally recognized physician-scientist with expertise in AYA cancer. The Fowler gift was matched by $500,000 from the Rainbow Babies & Children's Foundation.
