Ernst Gift Creates
New Heart Center

O

rchard Lake residents Max and
Debra Ernst have increased their
support to Beaumont heart and
vascular care to a total of $8 million,
launching the Max and Debra Ernst Heart
Center at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak.
The center will be dedicated to con-
solidating cardiac care, particularly for
patients with heart failure, into an area
that is not only convenient but also
comprehensive to provide a variety of
heart and vascular services.
In 2009, the couple also gave $3 mil-
lion to open the Ernst Cardiovascular
Center in memory of Ellen Ernst.
“Through their incredible support,
Max and Debra have demonstrated
that it doesn’t take a medical degree to
save a life — all it takes is a heart and a
desire to help others” said Marc Sakwa,
M.D., chief, Cardiovascular Surgery,
Beaumont, Royal Oak.
The 14,000-square-foot Max and
Debra Ernst Heart Center will be locat-
ed adjacent to the East Tower entrance
of the hospital near the current Ernst
Cardiovascular Center. Construction
on the $9 million project began this
month. It will open in the fall of 2019.
More than 1 million Americans are
diagnosed with congestive heart failure
yearly, which may lead to poor quality
of life and hospitalizations for advanced
care. Heart failure is also the leading
cause of hospitalization for those over 65.
Cardiologists, cardiac nurses, social
workers and dietitians will provide
medication monitoring, heart failure
management and progressive therapies
to enhance quality of life.
“When we made the gift in 2009, we
told everyone if we saved one life, it
would be worth it. Since that time, we
are very satisfied with the excellent care
the team has provided,” Max Ernst said.
“My gratitude for the success the heart
team has achieved has led my wife and
I to commit additional support for their
vision.” ■
