On December 17, 2021, IU School of Medicine–Evansville announced $34.2 million gift from Evansville natives William C. and Mary R. (O’Daniel) Stone to establish the Mary O’Daniel Stone and Bill Stone Center for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
The center will seek to fundamentally alter and improve the standard of care for people with bipolar disorder, and dramatically increase access to psychiatric care for the children and adolescent youth of southwestern Indiana.
This gift, one of the largest in IU School of Medicine history, follows the 2018 gift of $15 million the Stones made toward a multi-institutional health sciences collaboration between the University of Evansville, University of Southern Indiana and Indiana University.
