Naples, Fla., Feb. 19, 2026 – Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH) announced a $10 million philanthropic gift from the Brynne and Robert Coletti Family to advance oncology services while honoring the life and legacy of Brynne Coletti, who died in December 2024 after a courageous battle with brain cancer.
The gift was made by Bob Coletti and his family in memory of Brynne Coletti, Bob’s wife of 43 years. The transformational contribution will be dedicated to oncology with a focus on women. This gift will strengthen access to advanced care and innovation for women facing cancer today as well as for generations to come. NCH will recognize this gift through the naming of the Bob and Brynne Coletti Women’s Cancer Program.
“This extraordinary gift reflects a deep commitment to women facing cancer and to the future of oncology care in our community,” said Paul Hiltz, President and CEO of NCH. “Through this generosity, the Coletti family is helping ensure that members of our community receive compassionate, coordinated, world-class care close to home.”
The donation will support oncology services across several key locations, including the NCH McGlothlin Outpatient Infusion Center, the women’s oncology surgical wing at NCH North Hospital, and the NCH gynecological oncology clinic for women.
The foundational contribution builds on NCH’s growing oncology program and its clinical collaboration with Northwestern Medicine, providing patients in Southwest Florida with greater access to expert second opinions, advanced treatment protocols, and strategic program guidance.
“Brynne’s strength and grace continue to inspire us,” Bob Coletti said. “Our hope is that this gift honors her memory by helping women receive the care, support and hope they need at every stage of their journey.”
Philanthropy plays a critical role in making these advancements possible. Transformational gifts such as this one help bring cutting-edge programs to life, accelerate innovation, and expand access to specialized care that might otherwise require patients to travel far from home. Through continued philanthropic support, NCH is able to keep more Southwest Florida residents close to their families, their support systems and the care they need.
