A Legacy of Generosity

Barbara Smith and her late husband, William, moved from Chicago to San Diego 35 years ago and became Scripps patients shortly after. Over the years, both were treated for cancer, orthopedic injuries and other medical care, and though William ultimately lost his battle with cancer, Barbara’s connection to the hospital only grew stronger. She has donated to numerous causes within the Scripps system and has volunteered in the gift shop, participated in the pet therapy program and has even knitted baby caps. Her latest and largest contribution was a legacy donation to name the William W. and Barbara Smith Cafeteria in the new tower at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.
