working in the Detroit Jewish community a minimum of five years, may be
nominated for the Mandell and Madeleine Berman Award.

Criteria for Selection

A Center Of Hope
Countless miracles like Erik's will
take place inside the new cardio-
vascular center. Heart disease is
the nation's and Michigan's leading
cause of death. Every year, about
700,000 Americans have their first
heart attack or chest pain episode.
The five-story, 350,000-square-foot
building, at the corner of Ann and
Observatory streets, will provide
one-stop access to most of U-M's
adult heart and vascular care and
allow specialists from various dis-
ciplines to work together in a whole
new way.
"Our obligation is to pursue
seminal research in preventing and
treating heart disease and offer
compassionate care at the bound-
aries of contemporary medicine
said Dr. Jim Stanley, one of the new
center's four directors. Two Jewish
doctors, Dr. David Pinsky, chief of
adult cardiovascular medicine and
Dr. Richard Prager, chief of adult
cardiac surgery, will also serve as
directors. Several prominent Jewish
donors contributed to the project.
"We may never completely
defeat cardiovascular disease, but
we're going to fight the good fight:'
Dr. Gupta said. "This grand new
structure of ours will empower
and enlarge our campaign. This is
going to become a strategic force in
the fight against heart and artery
disease." l
