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." ❑
