LONG BRANCH - Anne Evans Estabrook, a real estate developer with deep ties to the Shore, will donate $3 million to Monmouth Medical Center for its new campus on a former Fort Monmouth site, hospital officials said.
Estabrook, owner and chairwoman of Elberon Development Group, said the donation is deeply personal. She grew up in the Elberon section of Long Branch. And both her father and husband were treated at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch for critical illnesses. The staff not only treats their patients; they treat the whole family, Estabrook said in a statement.
The gift is targeted for Monmouth Medical Center s proposed Vogel Medical Campus, a 100,000-square-foot project in Tinton Falls on the site of the former Myer Center, a Cold War-era research facility that was known as the Hexagon.
