he University of Michigan
Board of Regents voted
March 21 to recognize
groundbreaking support of U-M's
Cardiovascular Center by naming the
building in honor of the late Samuel
and Jean Frankel, whose foundation
provided early support of the center's
innovative model for caring for people
with cardiovascular disease.
Gifts from the Frankels to advance
health care and culture at U-M are
among the most generous in school
history, and their heritage of philan-
thropy has elevated scholarship and
culture worldwide.
A $25 million gift from the Samuel
and Jean Frankel Foundation to the
U-M Cardiovascular Center was
announced anonymously when the
center opened in 2007, and today
marks the first time the donor has
been named publicly.
The gift offered immediate support
for the center's clinical approach, a
new model that emphasizes coopera-
tion among health care providers, and
puts patients and families first.
An additional $25 million was
pledged on condition that the
Cardiovascular Center met certain
goals agreed upon by the donor and
center leaders. Pleased with the suc-
cess in meeting those goals, the family
has committed the latest gift.
"It is with enormous pride that we
are affiliated with Samuel and Jean
Frankel, whose belief allowed us to
create a path for others to follow:' says
Ora Hirsch Pescovitz, M.D., execu-
tive vice president for medical affairs
at U-M and CEO of the U-M Health
System.
"The gift guarantees that innovative
approaches to the diagnosis and treat-
ment of patients and families with
cardiovascular disease will continue
at Michigan and provide a national
model; Pescovitz says.
The Samuel and Jean Frankel
Cardiovascular Center's four physi-
cian directors and chief administrative
officer call the gift an investment in
the future of health care.
"Medical professionals often
work in the 'silo' of their own spe-
cialty, partly because of tradition and
partly due to financial incentives
that encourage an 'everyone-for-
Samuel and Jean Frankel
themselves' mentality:' the leaders
say. "The directors of the Frankel
Cardiovascular Center are striving to
change that and prove that there is a
better way."
No matter where they are treated,
patients are cared for by teams that
include members of different medical
and surgical specialties — all working
together to determine the best course
of diagnostic testing, medication,
procedures, operations and preventive
strategies for each patient.
This represents a change of culture
for medicine because it emphasizes
teamwork — among healthcare pro-
viders, patients and families.
Samuel and Jean Frankel were gen-
erous donors to the Center for Jewish
Studies in the College of Literature,
Science and the Arts (LSA). The
Center was renamed Jean and Samuel
Frankel Center for Judaic Studies in
recognition of their support.
Once students at LSA, Jean Frankel
(BA '36) and her husband, longtime
Detroit-area real estate developer
Samuel Frankel, provided funding in
2004 to create the Frankel Institute for
Advanced Judaic Studies, which was
the largest gift to the LSA at the time.
"Jean and Samuel Frankel have
made a lasting impact on our univer-
sity with their generosity:' says U-M
President Mary Sue Coleman. "Their
deep support of the CVC has had an
equally profound effect on the lives
of patients and their families, which
makes their gift all the more transfor-
mauve."
