Gary Buch with his son and daughter, Todd and Mindy.
Although Gary Buch doesn’t recall exactly when he became a donor to St. Mary, he does remember why.
Over the course of several years, Gary and his family had all been treated here for various health issues and came away impressed with the advanced technology and quality of care. But it was his daughter Mindy’s fierce devotion to her husband during his battle with cancer that sparked his transformation from occasional patient to ardent supporter.
Mindy became an active advocate for the St. Mary Medical Center Foundation, initiating a giving plan that included the whole family. And the timing couldn’t have been better, as shortly thereafter, Gary’s son Todd was also diagnosed with cancer.
As his son waged his battle against non-Hodgkins lymphoma at St. Mary, Gary was grateful that his family had access to a first-rate medical facility nearby. It was then that he made his commitment to ensure that St. Mary will always be there for his family and for every family who needs world-class healthcare.
The Buch family is committed to their long-standing tradition of giving back to the community. With each donation, they all know that they are helping to advance the state of healthcare in Bucks County by making it possible for St. Mary to acquire the most effective technologies to fight cancer.
Gary hopes neither he nor his family will ever have to use it again. But knowing that it is there—knowing that other families will have access to life-saving care—that’s why he supports St. Mary.
