History

On June 14, 1904, local philanthropist Mary Lee Clark Thompson officially opened the F.F. Thompson Hospital and gave it to the community in memory of her husband, Frederick Ferris Thompson. The Gift symbolizes and honors her generous act, showing Mr. Thompson supporting her efforts while children hold artistic representations of the Thompson health mascot and Sonnenberg Gardens, the Thompsons' beloved summer home. Although the Thompsons did not have children of their own, their philanthropic contributions often benefited the youth of the community. In 2004, Thompson Health commissioned The Gift to celebrate 100 years of caring and to honor the momentous contributions Mary Clark Thompson made to the Canandaigua community during her lifetime.
