CHARDON, Ohio — University Hospitals received $300,000 to create a digital breast imaging suite in rural Geauga County.

The Geauga Medical Center will in the spring open the Frohring Breast Imaging Suite, named after The William O. and Gertrude Lewis Frohring Foundation that donated the funds.

The Frohring family’s ties to UH go back decades. Chemist William O. Frohring created the earliest infant formula at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital. And the foundation in 1995 created the The William O. Frohring Family Resource Center at Rainbow.

Frohring Foundation President Glenn Frohring is a former member of the Geauga Medical Center Board of Directors.

The imaging suite will be integrated with the Ireland Cancer Center which has a satellite at Geauga Medical Center.
