Gift Aids Sinai
DMC Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital
has received a $200,000 chari-
table gift from the Aaron and Helen
DeRoy Testamentary Foundation,
based in Southfield.
The funds were used to expand
and enhance clinical facilities for
patients having cardiac catheteriza-
"-frit if
-
tions, radiology and other special
procedures. The DeRoy Foundation
gift also provided new cardiac moni-
tors and nurses' workstations for
this special procedures area.
Facility expansion was needed
•
because of the hospital's successful
emergency angioplasty program for
cardiac patients; the program began
a year ago. The number of proce-
dures has exceeded projections
and additional space was required
to monitor the growing volume of
patients. Huron Valley-Sinai is the
only hospital in western Oakland
County that performs this procedure.

expand the hospital's Radiology
Department, including its online
filmless imaging system.
