Alfred Staden, made his donations between 2012 and 2019, with £240,000 given as a legacy after his death in 2016
The widow of a man who donated £560,000 to the urology department at Northampton General Hospital recently returned to the hospital to meet the team he supported. Hope Staden, 82, from Great Billing, visited the hospital on August 17 and met members of the hospital's urology team at a community event showcasing a new surgical robot used in urology cancer treatments.
"In the end though he decided to make most of his donations during his lifetime so that he could see the results.” Mr Staden, who passed away at the age of 93 in 2016, had been treated twice for bladder cancer in the early 2000s.His generous donations included funding the creation of the Alfred Staden Urology Centre—an extension to the hospital's existing facilities—between 2012 and 2014.
"Thanks to Fred’s generosity it has been totally transformed. It is used every day with both nurse and doctor-led clinics. It has helped us put our urology services all under one roof – it has created a ‘one-stop shop’ for many thousands of patients and has greatly improved their experience of our care.”
"I am glad I have lived long enough to see this open. I am delighted such a small thing on my part has made such a dramatic difference.”
