Saint Luke’s Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute

Members of the Marion and Henry Bloch family were honored on February 25th at a renaming celebration for the Saint Luke’s Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute. The Bloch family has had a longstanding history of board involvement and supporting Saint Luke’s Hospital programs, including an historic $12 million gift to the Hospital last December. In honor of their generosity and years of support, the Hospital’s neuroscience program was renamed the Saint Luke’s Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute in memory of Marion, who passed away last year.
