18 LIVE IT UP! FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2018 SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL N orma Quilici remembers her sister Emma Bertoli as someone who always looked at the bright side. It is no wonder then that Emma and her late husband Natale would think about helping others beyond their lifetime.

In July 2017, Dominican Hos- pital received a $300,000 bequest from the Bertoli Family Trust, due to Emma and Natale's generos- ity - $100,000 for cardiac care and $200,000 for key initiatives. e couple was very fond of the hospital, where Emma received excellent care years back when she spent three months in the intensive care unit due to Guillain-Barré syndrome. e disease le her fully paralyzed and unable to walk, her sister remembered. "e doctors thought there wasn't much hope for recovery, but Emma was able to walk again," said Mrs. Quilici, who spent many more happy years with her sister. e Dominican Hospital Foun- dation is truly grateful to the Bertoli Family for the legacy they have le to improve the health of our com- munity. eir generosity is essential to our Hospital's success to provide highly advanced patient care in a healing environment for all.
