A Defining Moment: How a Historic Gift is Shaping the Future for Children's Healthcare in Northern Nevada
On Sept. 10, 2026, Renown Health shared a vision decades in the making: plans to build northern Nevada's first freestanding children's hospital, made possible by a transformative $40 million gift from philanthropist Tom Golisano and the Golisano Foundation, the largest philanthropic gift in Renown's history.
For many, the announcement was a celebration. For others, it was a moment of validation. Together, it was confirmation that the vision our caregivers, donors and this community have been building toward is not only possible, but already underway.
