Donor Bench

The hospital's donor bench serves as a functional work of art and a testament to the community’s philanthropic spirit. Located in the atrium of Slidell Memorial Hospital, the piece was a collaboration between the father-daughter team of Mike Lamb of Pass Christian, Mississippi, and Dru Lamb of New Orleans.

"The design is simple and clean and sophisticated, but still fun," says Dru Lamb, an interior designer with New Orleans' Eskew Dumez Ripple. She developed the concept for the piece, which uses layered glass bricks worked into a grid of mahogany and cypress woods crafted by Mike Lamb, a retired steamship stevedore.

Engraved onto the glass bricks are tributes to those who have made donations of $1,000 or more to the SMH Foundation.

Engraved Bricks

Donate $100 or more to our Cancer Initiative for Giving, and we’ll add a brick paver to the Slidell Memorial Hospital Regional Cancer Center garden sidewalk in your name or a loved one’s. When you give to the SMH Foundation, you’ll not only be supporting the SMH Regional Cancer Center, you can know that your donation is being used to build more than bricks and mortar.
