Pavilion named for scholarship donors

PHOTO COURTESY OF SLUHN Accomplished engineer, businessman and developer Gopal “Kris” Kapoor and his wife, Preeta, were recognized recently at a reception at the St. Luke's Bethlehem Campus celebrating the couple's transformational gift to support scholarships for Temple/St. Luke's School of Medicine students. In recent years, the Kapoors and other donors have allowed St. Luke's to establish an endowment of nearly $25 million for scholarships to help medical students achieve the dream of serving others as physicians. The Kapoors have strong ties with St. Luke's after seeking care from several physicians within the network over the years. “We've always been pleased with the quality of the care we've received,” Kris Kapoor said. “So, when Preeta and I were thinking of ways we could give back to our community, we decided that a good way to help was to send more well-trained doctors out into the world.” Adds Preeta, “God has given us so many blessings. Our two children are doing well. They are happy in their fields, happy in their lives. We have seven grandchildren, and they are doing well, too. We've had a very good and interesting life and we are happy to share what we have. Now it's time to give back.” ABOVE: St. Luke's President & CEO Rick Anderson, left, is photographed with Gopal “Kris” Kapoor and his wife, Preeta.
