At AINA they are up in arms. They have already called these people every name in the book! I call them humans. The donors, I mean...not the AINA forum trash. ----------------------------------------------------------- Modesto Bee: Assyrian Couple Donates $4.5 Milions to Emanuel Hospital Posted By: Fred Aprim (230.san-jose-15rh16rt.ca.dial-access.att.net) Date: Friday, 1 October 2004, at 12:33 p.m. Turlock hospital pledged $4.5M Donation to pay for half of Emanuel cancer center, pediatric wing makeover By JOHN HOLLAND BEE STAFF WRITER October 1, 2004, 04:58:42 AM PDT TURLOCK — The owners of a fast-growing mortgage company have pledged $4.5 million to Emanuel Medical Center, the largest donation in the hospital's history, to help build a cancer center and remake the pediatric wing. "Their vision is great, and I believe in it, and I think they have a great staff," Tony Daniloo said of the 87-year-old hospital. Daniloo and his wife, Nansi, both of Turlock, are founders of Modesto-based DreamLife Financial. The donation will cover half the estimated $9 million cost of the projects, said Shirley Pok, vice president of development at Emanuel. The DreamLife Cancer Center is scheduled to open in the fall of 2005. The pediatric wing, to be named for Nansi Daniloo, is expected to open about a year later. "I think that the donors have had a long-term interest in oncology services and children," Pok said, "and when they were looking to make a philanthropic gift, they knew that the type of care we provide here has the same standard of excellence as their business." The cancer center will allow Turlock-area residents to get treatment without traveling to Modesto or farther, said Pennie Rorex, an Emanuel spokeswoman. The main hospital provides in-patient chemotherapy and will continue to do so after the cancer center is built, she said. The new building will allow Emanuel to add radiation and out-patient chemotherapy, she said. It also is to have office space for surgical specialists. Tony Daniloo said his mother, Susie Daniloo, is a breast cancer survivor, and he knows how hard it is for patients to travel for treatment. The cancer center will be in a new, 20,000-square-foot building north of the main part of the Delbon Avenue hospital. The pediatric wing will remain in the main hospital, but shift to an area to be vacated by the relocation of beds to the Emanuel Critical Care Center, under construction in the northwest part of the grounds. Pok said the pediatric wing will have more space, privacy and security than the current area devoted to young patients. Emanuel will use its other income, including real estate earnings, to cover the remaining $4.5 million cost of the projects, she said. The Daniloos' donation will be made over five years, but financing will allow construction to start soon, Rorex said. The couple pledged $3 million for the cancer center through DreamLife Financial and $1.5 million for the pediatric wing as a personal gift. Pok said the cancer center was in Emanuel's long-term plans, but can be built earlier than planned because of the donation. "It will be a very comprehensive regional cancer center," she said. Emanuel is in the midst of a wave of capital projects, having opened an expanded birth center last year and a remodeled diagnostic complex this year. Construction started last month on the $30 million critical care building, including an enlarged emergency department. Daniloo, 30, and his wife, 29, were born in Iran and joined Turlock's Assyrian Christian community in their youth. Tony Daniloo has started several mortgage companies in Northern California the last 10 years. Nansi Daniloo worked as a senior loan processor for H&R Block Mortgage before the birth of their son, Jacob, 2. They returned to Turlock and founded DreamLife Financial, a residential and commercial lender, last year. It has grown to seven branches from Modesto to Fresno, with two more planned in Tracy and Stockton.
