Intel Mogul Gives $50-Million for San Francisco Women’s Hospital

Intel co-founder Gordon Moore and his wife, Betty, have donated $50-million to the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center to support construction of a new women’s hospital as part of a larger planned health complex, San Francisco Business Times writes.

The facility will be named the UCSF Betty Irene Moore Women’s Hospital. It is part of $1.5-billion, 289-bed facility for women, children, and cancer patients set to open next year in San Francisco’s Mission Bay area.

The hospital also announced Wednesday that the cancer center will be named for philanthropists Gerson Bakar and Barbara Bass Bakar but did not offer details about their support. The children’s hospital has already been named for Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff and his wife, Lynne, who pledged $100-million for the project in 2010.
