David and Linda Stein made a significant gift to the River Garden Foundation earlier this year that both names the campus and endows its medical program. Their generous commitment continues their family’s legacy at River Garden. David’s grandmother, Rose Stein, was a member of the Ladies Hebrew Sheltering Aid Society currently known as the River Garden Auxiliary. The auxiliary set a goal to establish an exceptional, caring nursing home for the city of Jacksonville.

On Oct. 29, River Garden board leadership, staff and friends and family of the Steins gathered at the campus to reveal the new sign and celebrate the family’s legacy.

“Over the years our family has been privileged to be a part of River Garden and to help it grow into the outstanding facility it is today. I am especially proud of my grandmother, Rose Stein, whose goal to create a Jewish home providing loving care for seniors in our city has been achieved and continues to thrive today,” David Stein remarked.

“There is nothing more impactful than multi-generational philanthropy, and David and Linda’s generous gift to name the campus and endow the medical program is a testament to this,” Mauri Mizrahi, River Garden CEO, said.
