Entrepreneur Tom Golisano has donated $40 million to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in Wesley Chapel, Florida. This significant gift will name the new five-story facility as the Golisano Children’s Medical Center at Wesley Chapel. The donation marks the largest single gift in the hospital’s 100-year history and includes joining a national network of children’s hospitals called the Golisano Children’s Alliance. Construction on this 56-bed pediatric hospital began last year, with exterior work completed and interior systems now being installed. The facility is scheduled to open in fall 2027 as part of a larger $300 million investment aimed at addressing pediatric care shortages in Pasco, Hernando, and Citrus counties. Currently, 93% of children in these areas must travel outside their region for specialty pediatric treatment. The new hospital will feature an emergency department, operating rooms, infusion center, sleep laboratory, and various rehabilitation services across multiple floors.
