Donor Spotlight:
Gregg and Lori Gottsegen
Gregg and Lori Gottsegen recently made a very generous $1 million gift to Keeping the Promise…The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. This gift will name the second-floor reception in the Toby and Leon Cooperman Medical Arts Pavilion.
Although the Gottsegens have only been full-time residents of Boca Raton since 2020, their history goes back more than ten years. Having family in the Boca area brought Gregg and Lori down to South Florida on a part-time basis. However, they were long-time residents of Livingston, NJ, where they raised their family and were very involved with the community. Gregg proudly sits on the board of Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center, which is located in Livingston.
The Gottsegens have come to know the Coopermans personally, making their most recent gift to Boca Regional even more meaningful. As Gregg explains, “Lori and I have a deep respect and admiration for the philanthropic life that Toby and Leon lead. Their generosity has changed the lives of countless people and is truly something we admire.
“Receiving a gift from active community members like the Gottsegens is so impactful,” says Lincoln Mendez, North Region Executive and CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “They know the importance of having a state-of-the-art medical facility in their own backyard, so no one has to worry about traveling to receive excellent healthcare.”
In addition to healthcare, Gregg and Lori are actively involved in Jewish Family Services. Last year, they were honored with the Rales Humanitarian of the Year Award by the Ruth and Norman Rales Jewish Family Services. For the past eight years, Gregg and Lori have been event chairs for “A Tribute to Our Heroes through the American Friends of Magen David Adom.” Being connected to their community is essential, and they have found many ways to make an impression.
“We recognized the enthusiasm that accompanies Gregg and Lori’s giving. While they give philanthropically, they also want to be involved on a personal level. Gregg is a member of our Golf Tournament committee, which is in its 26th year of supporting nursing service at Boca Regional,” states Mark Larkin, President of Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation. As donors, the Gottsegens can look back at their impact and know that we are so thankful to be part of their generosity.”
