Eva and her husband donated approximately $19 million and were involved in raising an additional $24 million for the center, where breast cancer diagnosis and treatment are integrated under one roof. According to The Wall Street Journal, as both a patient and a physician, she contributed to many aspects of the center's development. As of 2018, the center had processed 180,000 patient visits.[3][1]
