Herb Chambers Donates $100 Million to MGH

Herb Chambers, a Boston businessman and philanthropist, has made a landmark donation of $100 million to Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to fund a new cancer care tower, which will be named the Herb Chambers Tower. The nearly one-million-square-foot facility will consolidate inpatient and outpatient cancer services and is set to include a rooftop garden and specialized care units, aiming to enhance patient treatment and comfort. Chambers, who has personal connections to cancer care through his family and friends, emphasized the importance of MGH's high-quality care in his decision to contribute. His donation is among the largest ever received by MGH, reflecting his commitment to giving back to the community that has supported his successful automotive business. The tower is part of a broader initiative to integrate cancer care services at MGH and Brigham and Women's Hospital, especially as the latter loses its partnership with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Completion of the tower is anticipated in 2027, marking a significant advancement in cancer treatment facilities in the region.
