Hannibal Regional Hospital receives $9.25M estate gift recognizing decades of compassionate care

Missouri’s Hannibal Regional Hospital has received a $9.25 million estate gift from Harold and Laura Robertson, marking the largest donation in the organization’s history. The gift reflects a nearly 20-year relationship with the hospital that began in 2006 after the couple received care during a difficult winter storm, an experience that inspired decades of ongoing philanthropy. The award will support patient care improvements, future healthcare initiatives, and the creation of an “Excellence in Care” award recognizing staff who deliver exceptional compassionate service, reinforcing the couple’s legacy across the regional health system.
