Angel Lisinski, on behalf of the Lisinski Law Firm, Donates $1 Million to St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Foundation to Support Future Family Resource Center

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Foundation today announced that Angel Lisinski, Founder, CEO, and Managing Attorney of Lisinski Law Firm, made a gift of $1 million alongside her family to name the Family Resource Center at the future Pagidipati Children's Hospital at St. Joseph's. Scheduled to open by 2030, the hospital's new facility will further enhance and expand the pediatric services provided by BayCare.

After touring St. Joseph's Children's Hospital in October of 2025, Angel felt called to support the hospital's mission. Angel chose to support the respite space because it reflects the mission that has guided her career: keeping families together. Supporting a space where no family has to leave their child's side felt like a natural extension of the work her firm does every day.

Caring for a hospitalized child can be overwhelming, and families often spend long hours or even weeks at the bedside. The Family Resource Center is designed to ease that burden by providing a comfortable, practical space that allows parents and caregivers to take care of their own needs while remaining close to their child.

"From the moment I toured St. Joseph's, I saw a team doing extraordinary work for children and their families. We have been working together on this gift for months, and I could not be prouder to support a hospital that means so much to the Tampa community. My hope is that this space keeps families together, just as our firm strives to do every day in our mission to change as many lives as possible," said Angel Lisinski, Founder, CEO, and Managing Attorney, Lisinski Law Firm.

Thoughtfully designed and conveniently located, the Family Resource Center will foster a sense of stability and dignity, helping families maintain balance during a challenging time.

"St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Foundation is tremendously grateful for this investment in the health, connection, and psychosocial well-being of the families we serve. This gift reflects Angel's incredible commitment to improving the lives of generations of families and children across the Tampa Bay community," said Kate Sawa, President, St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Foundation and BayCare Chief Philanthropy Officer.
