Legacy Giving
Gagnon Institute of Bioskills Training and Innovation
The Gagnon Institute of Bioskills Training and Innovation offers physicians, nurses, medical students and other health professionals a safe and controlled environment to practice clinical skills without risk of patient harm. The current space located at 95 Madison Avenue is undergoing an expansion and modernization which includes a new, fully equipped mock operating room, an intensive care room, a new trauma resuscitation room and a standardized patient exam room.
As part of this donor-funded effort, highly advanced simulation manikins will be purchased, including a surgical skills manikin, a SimBaby™ manikin, an ultrasound simulator, central line simulators and other vital equipment. Generous philanthropic support for this important effort comes from the Gagnon Family Foundation and Foundation for Morristown Medical Center Trustee Meghan Lyon and Richard Lyon.
The Bioskills Institute was selected as the beneficiary of the Women’s Association for Morristown Medical Center Mansion in May 2023 at Three Fields in the Borough of Mendham, New Jersey, and the 130-year-old volunteer organization has pledged $1.5 million to support this important cause.
