It also needs to be said that this list does not show the numerous cash donations made in-kind from families who lost loved ones and wanted to make a contribution in their memory nor does it include the large amounts collected through fundraising efforts conducted by the Princeton General Hospital/Ridgewood Lodge Foundation.

This is just a snapshot of financial support provided from within the community meant for assistance with the operations of a fully functioning hospital and extended care facility in Princeton.
