I am privileged to serve as the chair of the Beaumont Foundation Board of Directors. Throughout the years, I have had the distinct honor to work with an exceptional group of volunteer board members, all of whom are committed to assisting the Beaumont Foundation in meeting its fundraising goals.

Over the past seven years, we have redoubled our efforts, forming a Campaign Executive Committee, Campaign Committees, and standing committees of the board – all for the purpose of raising philanthropic dollars for The Campaign for Beaumont Hospitals. I am deeply grateful to Walter Wolpin, for his leadership and support as our campaign chair. His far-reaching relationships with key individuals throughout the community were critical to the campaign’s overall success. I am thankful for his dedication, commitment and generosity.

Tonight we recognize all those who have made gifts of significance in support of The Campaign for Beaumont

Hospitals. We especially acknowledge our Foundation board members, and physician and volunteer leaders who helped us to shape our vision and connect us with those who would graciously join the campaign effort.

On behalf of the Beaumont Foundation, thank you for your overwhelming support and generosity.

Gratefully,

Geoffrey L. Hockman Chair The Beaumont Foundation Board of Directors

Dear Friends,

Gene Michalski

Geoffrey L. HockmanDear Friends,

As we celebrate the conclusion of The Campaign for Beaumont Hospitals – the largest fundraising effort in our history – we extend our deepest gratitude to each of you here tonight. Your generosity will have a profound impact on patient care at Beaumont.

As we conclude our campaign, I particularly want to acknowledge our campaign chair, Walter Wolpin. Walter has worked tirelessly to promote the campaign and to encourage others to lend their support as well. Because of his efforts and the work of the Campaign Executive Committee, we have well exceeded our $170 million campaign goal.

I also wish to extend my personal thanks to our board members and trustees, and to especially acknowledge Steve Howard, chair of our Health System Board of Directors, and Jeff Hockman, chair of the Beaumont Foundation Board of Directors, for their invaluable leadership.

Dear Friends,

Seven years ago, we began the “quiet phase” of The Campaign for Beaumont Hospitals. As we met with our hospital and physician leaders, we were reminded daily of the extraordinary institution that is Beaumont and of its deep commitment to meeting the needs of its patients.

We spoke with physicians, nurses and administrators across the system to identify specific projects and determine philanthropic priorities. We then went out into the community to ask your advice, and verify our specific goals and objectives through an extensive Feasibility Study. With the help of a Campaign Task Force, we were able to make recommendations to our Foundation and Health System boards that culminated in our decision to move forward with the campaign.

These have been very challenging times for health care institutions everywhere. Some might say it was hardly the time to have launched the largest fundraising campaign in our history, but we did. We did it because we knew that we could rely on your help, your generosity, and your willingness to invest in Beaumont and its health care mission.

I am deeply grateful to Walter Wolpin, our campaign chair, Jeff Hockman, our Foundation Board chair, and those of you who worked so closely with them to ensure our campaign’s success. Thank you for your invaluable support and counsel. You have truly helped Beaumont build a healthier community.

Tonight, as we conclude the campaign, we celebrate the spirit of philanthropy that is so evident in each of you and look forward to continuing to partner with you as we look to the future.

With deepest gratitude,

Margaret Cooney Casey President Beaumont Foundation

Margaret Cooney CaseyDear Donors and Friends of Beaumont,

I am so very pleased to welcome you here this evening and to thank each and every one of you for your outstanding support of The Campaign for Beaumont Hospitals. It’s been my pleasure to lead the campaign and work with a terrific group of fundraising professionals and volunteers.

When I agreed to chair this campaign, I did so knowing that I would have the full support of Margaret Casey and the rest of the Foundation staff. I also knew that I could count on the thousands of individuals and business leaders in this community who have always supported Beaumont. Your belief in this institution and your dedication to ensuring its continued success has truly made all of the difference.

I especially want to thank my Campaign Executive Committee members – Jim Rosenthal for serving as my vice chair, and Gene Applebaum, Tom Celani, Susan Cooper, Graham Orley, Warren Rose, Debbie Tyner and Evan Weiner – for their friendship, enthusiasm and generosity.

Despite challenging economic times and significant pressures on health care providers everywhere, we began this campaign with the utmost confidence, knowing that Beaumont has always been able to rely on this community. We have not been disappointed. Your generosity will support programs and services that will be there for our children and grandchildren.

Thank you, once again, for believing in Beaumont and for investing in this great institution!

to combat the alarming rise in childhood obesity through the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, and is helping individuals and families succeed and small businesses grow.

In addition to his Foundation work, President Clinton has joined with former President George H.W. Bush three times – after the 2004 tsunami in South Asia, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and Hurricane Ike in 2008 – to help raise money for recovery efforts and served as the U.N. Envoy for Tsunami Recovery.

Building on his longstanding commitment to Haiti as President and through his Foundation, President Clinton was named U.N. Special Envoy for Haiti in 2009 to assist the government and the people of Haiti as they “build back better” after a series of hurricanes battered the country in 2008. Following last year’s devastating earthquake,

President Clinton dedicated Clinton Foundation resources to help with immediate and long-term relief and assistance, and at the request of President Obama, joined with President George W. Bush to establish the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, which supports highly effective organizations on the ground in long-term rebuilding efforts. Additionally, President Clinton serves as co-chair of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission with Prime Minister Bellerive.

President Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas. He and his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, have one daughter, Chelsea, and live in Chappaqua, New York. n

William Jefferson Clinton was the f irst Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice — first in 1992 and then in 1996. Under his leadership, the country enjoyed the strongest economy in a generation and the longest economic expansion in U.S. history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs.

After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence. Today the Foundation has staff and volunteers around the world working to improve lives through several initiatives, including the Clinton Health Access Initiative (formerly the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative) which is helping 4 million people living with HIV/AIDS access lifesaving drugs. Other initiatives — including the Clinton Climate Initiative, the Clinton Development Initiative, and the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative — are applying a business-oriented approach worldwide to fight climate change and develop sustainable economic growth in Africa and Latin America. As a project of the Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative brings together global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. In the United States, the Foundation is working

Seven years ago, the Beaumont Foundation launched the “quiet phase” of The Campaign for Beaumont Hospitals, by far the largest fundraising effort we had ever undertaken. Much has happened since then, yet one thing has remained constant – the generosity of the people of this community.

In the early phase of the campaign, we worked closely with hospital administrators and physicians to identify our philanthropic needs. We also sought the advice and counsel of those closest to us – our board members, donors and other potential benefactors. We wanted to talk about these needs with those who knew us best and to determine the feasibility of our ultimate campaign goal. We also sought to identify campaign leadership – knowing that our success would greatly depend upon the commitment and dedication of our fundraising volunteers.

In March 2007, with the full approval of our Beaumont Board of Directors, we announced a $170 million comprehensive campaign, one that would target six key clinical areas: Heart and Vascular, Oncology, Urology, Orthopaedics, Geriatrics and Pediatrics. We also committed ourselves to integrating the critical research and surgical initiatives that have been the foundation of Beaumont’s exceptional success.

At the same time, we announced that we had recruited our campaign chair, Walter Wolpin, a highly respected business leader and a member of our Beaumont and Foundation boards. The impact of Walter’s contributions has been immeasurable. He is truly the epitome of what fundraisers hope for in a volunteer. His dedication and generosity combined with his astounding reach within the community, helped introduce us to new donors who would choose to invest in Beaumont.

The Campaign Story

of PhilanthropyThe Impact

Walter helped recruit an exceptional Campaign Executive Committee, including Gene Applebaum, Tom Celani, Susan Cooper, Graham Orley, Warren Rose, Jim Rosenthal, Debbie Tyner, and Evan Weiner. With much patience and determination, he recruited others to a cause he believes in – furthering Beaumont’s philanthropic goals. We are deeply indebted to him, to the members of the Executive Committee and all those who served on the various campaign and board committees.

In the end, we were able to not only reach, but exceed our campaign goal, raising more than $200 million for capital, research, program and endowment needs throughout the Beaumont Health System. The impact on patient care has been both profound and gratifying.

We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the 40 donors who made leadership gifts ranging from $1 million to more than $40 million as well as the 60,000 additional donors who contributed wholeheartedly to this effort. The broad appeal this campaign has had, particularly in such challenging economic times, has greatly advanced our health care mission and ensured that we can continue to offer the highest quality health services to all those who come to us for care. n

With philanthropic commitments that began nearly 20 years ago with their support for the training of urology residents from foreign countries and the exceptional gifts that have continued throughout The Campaign for Beaumont Hospitals, Florine and J. Peter Ministrelli have had an extraordinary impact on Beaumont and the patients we serve. As loyal supporters of our Heart and Vascular and Urology programs, the Ministrellis embody the true meaning of philanthropy.

Their legacy includes the very first robot for Beaumont Hospitals that led to the introduction of non-invasive prostate surgeries. Innovative urology research support has given new hope to men with prostate cancer. Children with spina bifida can now have life-changing nerve re-routing procedures, helping them to achieve bladder control for the first time in their lives and greatly enhancing their quality of life. The patients suffering from a wide range of urological disorders caused by disease or the aging process can find relief with the help

of leading-edge approaches to treatment, including adult stem cell research, offered by an internationally recognized team of urologists at Beaumont.

“Gifts from the Ministrellis have made it possible for us to develop leading-edge techniques that are changing so many lives,” said Kenneth Peters, M.D., chairman of Urology at Beaumont, Royal Oak.

With the help of the Ministrellis’ generosity, Beaumont patients now also benefit from the very latest in MRI and CT technologies, allowing our exceptional team of cardiovascular physicians to quickly and safely diagnose heart and vascular disease. Patients who may not have been candidates for open heart surgery can now undergo lifesaving minimally invasive procedures, including transcatheter valve replacements. Women in our community now have access to a Women’s Heart Center, one of the first of its kind dedicated entirely to women’s heart health and screening. Research in this field has shown that women have

different symptoms for heart disease than men and different treatments are more effective.

“We are seeing more and more women every year and this helps us to be more aggressive and preventive with the symptoms of heart disease in women,” said Pamela Marcovitz, M.D., director of the Ministrelli Women’s

Heart Center.

The centers and programs that now bear their names include:

Heart & Vascular Services

n The Florine and J. Peter Ministrelli Women’s Heart Center

n The Ministrelli Center for Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging

n The Florine & J. Peter Ministrelli Endowed Chair in Cardiovascular Research

n The Ministrelli Cardiology Research Magnetic Resonance Imaging Fund

The J. Peter and Florine Ministrelli Urology Institute

n The Ministrelli Program for Urology Research and Education (MPURE)

n The J. Peter and Florine Ministrelli Distinguished Chair in Urology

“Over the years, we have experienced firsthand the outstanding care given by Beaumont physicians and other clinical staff, and we wanted to ensure that these programs would continue well into the future,” said Peter Ministrelli.

In addition to these centers and research initiatives, the Ministrellis have also established educational programs to empower the public with knowledge and resource materials.

Screening programs and health fairs raise awareness about critical health issues and AED (automated external defibrillator) devices donated by the Ministrelli

Women’s Heart Center are now installed in public buildings, community centers and libraries throughout the area. Overall, tens of thousands of lives right here in

our region, not to mention globally, have been affected by the philanthropic spirit of the Ministrellis.

“I am honored to be involved in these programs and associated with Beaumont. I have so much respect for these doctors – the work they’re doing is extraordinary,” said Peter Ministrelli.

On behalf of the more than eight million Americans who seek emergency room treatment each year for chest pain; the 15 million Americans who suffer from urinary diseases; and the millions more with chronic cardiac or kidney disease, we thank Florine and Peter Ministrelli for advancing research and making state-of-the-art treatments possible. Their support has created centers to promote health and also helped underwrite pilot studies and clinical trials that are saving lives every day and raising the standard of care in our community for you, your family as well as those around the world. n

“The Applebaum Simulation Learning Institute will be the hub of education for all levels of learners, from first-year students to practicing professionals,” said Gene Michalski, president and CEO of Beaumont Health System.

The hands-on training and simulation technology has evolved from learning new surgical skills to include an integrated, cross-disciplinary, interactive team approach to medical/surgical and trauma care. The institute has been and will continue to be a critical component in the engagement of learners from all of the nursing and medical professions.

Beaumont has been training medical students from other universities for more than 45 years and will continue to do so through our affiliation with Oakland University to form the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine (OUWB School of Medicine). An essential component of training for all medical students will be standardized patient care practices that will be taught in the simulation learning institute.

“Simulation training has revolutionized medical education,” said Felicia Ivascu, M.D., associate program director for the Department of Surgery.

The institute was cited as a “shining star” in the initial Liaison Committee for Medical Education approval of the OUWB School of Medicine. The students will have simulation skills learning built into the Arts and Practice of Medicine portion of their curriculum beginning in the very first year. These students will learn the scientific application of modern simulation technologies that will improve cognitive, communication and psychomotor skills.

“We want to assure that future generations receive the best health care education possible. We also want to see that well-trained doctors stay in the surrounding communities,” said Gene Applebaum.

Because of the continued generosity of the Applebaums, Beaumont will be adding much-needed space and simulation rooms to train the students, residents and fellows who will care for patients in critical situations. The difference here at Beaumont is that when these learners are assigned to the Emergency Center, they will have already had significant training in the simulation setting. Their first encounter in a crisis situation will not be their first encounter with an emergency. Our learners will already know what to do and

how to respond appropriately in a broad range of life-threatening situations.

Simulation technology will remain at the core of the institute’s programs, helping it to prepare the physicians, nurses and technicians of tomorrow and, at the same time, ensuring that practicing physicians and students are able to hone their skills in the use of newly introduced technologies and procedures.

“Beaumont remains committed to education. The gift from the Applebaum family makes it possible for the best technology and teaching to occur,” said James Robbins, M.D., executive director, Marcia & Eugene Applebaum

Surgical Learning Center.

The Marcia & Eugene Applebaum Simulation Learning

Institute has made possible a whole new era of medical and surgical education. On behalf of the countless learners who will continue to benefit from the institute’s programs, we extend to the Applebaums our most sincere gratitude and appreciation. n

Changing the Future Marcia and Gene Applebaum are among this community’s most highly respected humanitarians and philanthropists. Year after year, their gifts to health care institutions, universities, community-based charities and the arts have enriched lives. As visionaries in health care, their most generous gift to Beaumont established the Marcia & Eugene

Applebaum Surgical Learning Center in 2006.

The center earned international recognition and is considered among the most comprehensive simulation learning facilities in the country. Using a unique blend of classroom learning and hands-on simulation training, more than 36,000 Beaumont health care students and professionals have attended classes there since it opened. This level of training ultimately led to advanced skills, increased patient safety, more precise surgical techniques, and improved clinical outcomes. In other words, the impact of the institute has been felt by both our clinical teams and our patients.

The Marcia & Eugene Applebaum Surgical Learning Center successfully captured the essence of the various hospital and operating room experiences. In 2007, the center became one of the first centers in North America to receive the American College of Surgeons’ prestigious Level 1 accreditation as a Comprehensive Education Institute and was re-accredited in 2010.

Since 2006, the focus has changed from being directed entirely to the operating room experience to one that is broader in concept and addresses the concerns of a variety of specialties. The mission was also expanded to include the training of all health care professionals at various levels of experience. This new vision has been supported by an additional substantial gift from the Applebaum family, allowing us to expand the center in size and scope. To reflect this much more ambitious endeavor, the name has been changed to the Marcia & Eugene Applebaum Simulation Learning Institute.

We want to assure that future generations receive the best health care education possible. We also want to see that well-trained doctors stay in the surrounding communities. — Gene Applebaum

Susan Cooper learned the true meaning of giving from her parents, Robert and Mary Flint, who were generous philanthropists. Not only did they support Beaumont Health System, but Robert Flint served for many years on Beaumont’s Board of Directors.

Susan has continued her parents’ legacy as a long-time Health System director and Foundation board member. The stunning art installation by Gerhardt Knodel that is the centerpiece of the South Tower Concourse at Beaumont, Royal Oak was a gift from Susan in memory of her parents. She also co-founded and was a long-time co-chair of Beaumont’s Drive to Beat Breast Cancer – The John A. Ingold Invitational that has raised more than $2.7 million for breast cancer research and education.

The Women’s Urology Center exists because of Susan’s significant generosity. The center is an exceptional place located at Beaumont, Royal Oak, where women coping with pelvic pain, urological issues and other sensitive female illnesses can find the help they need.

“It’s a beautiful facility,” Susan said. “The décor makes the center feel very warm and very comfortable. The staff offers personal attention and that’s what women look for in their health care providers.”

Susan knew that she wanted to help Beaumont expand the kinds of services it could offer to women in the community. With her gift, the Women’s Urology Center became the first of its kind in the Midwest.

The center is dedicated exclusively to the treatment and research of urological conditions that affect women. It is estimated that a staggering 43 percent of women in this country suffer from some form of urological issue. During its first year of operation, the center transformed the lives of hundreds of new patients. Many of these women traveled from other states and Canada to be seen and cared for by the Women’s Urology Center team.

Generations of Giving

“It is with sincere gratitude that we thank Susan Cooper. Because of her, we have a dedicated space for the diagnostics, treatments and research to be provided by clinicians who specialize in female urology,” said Kenneth Peters, M.D., chairman of Urology at Beaumont, Royal Oak.

A few years ago, Susan heard a presentation by Dr. Peters. He explained that with many conditions, the need for privacy and the ability to develop trusting relationships with specially trained clinicians were essential for successful outcomes. Susan decided that she wanted to help him realize his vision for a dedicated Women’s Urology Center.

During its first year of operation, the center transformed the lives of hundreds of new patients. Many of these women had not only gone undiagnosed, but they were

improperly treated for months or even years before their arrival at the center.

Susan is gratified to know that her gift is helping others. “This is a meaningful place for women to be treated in a way that addresses both their physical and emotional health,” said Susan.

“We have created a special, private and comfortable place for women to go where people who care will listen, evaluate their problem, and provide the support and treatment that will make a difference in their lives,” said Donna Carrico, nurse practitioner.

The center’s resources include highly qualified physicians and nurses, researchers, integrative medicine specialists, pelvic floor physical therapists, and education and support programs that help ensure successful patient outcomes.

The Women’s Urology Center is a dedicated space in which female patients can receive individualized support and therapy in a safe and private environment.

At a dedication reception honoring Susan’s generosity, she stated, “This is not about me – it is about providing quality women’s programs and services at Beaumont,” said Susan. “The size of the gift does not matter, it’s just important to give.”

On behalf of the women who have found hope at the Women’s Urology Center, we thank Susan Cooper for her exceptional generosity. n

The Hough Center is also the only eating disorder program in the state to focus exclusively on helping teens and children. Nationwide, 95 percent of individuals with eating disorders are between the ages of 16 and 26 while up to 40 percent of newly identified anorexia cases are seen in girls ages 15 to 19 years old. Early intervention is key in achieving successful outcomes and returning young patients to healthy relationships with food, exercise and weight. The family-based method also helps restore the often broken or strained relationships between children, parents and siblings, laying a positive foundation for long-term recovery and success.

David and Bonnie Hough recently made an additional very generous gift commitment to support the center.

“The gift from the Houghs will add to the great work done for adolescent health. So many more kids will be helped because of their commitment and loyalty,” said Alonzo Lewis, vice president, Women’s and Children’s Services.

The Hough’s philanthropy also will support additional services, including the creation of an Intensive Outpatient Day Treatment Program, a five-day-per-week approach that would offer outpatient care similar in intensity to

a full-time residential inpatient treatment program. It will also establish an endowed fund for the ongoing work of the center.

“This program has grown because the Houghs have supported it with such commitment,” said Dr. Mammel.

“As a family, they have saved lives and restored optimism to so many patients and parents. It is a wonderful legacy.”

On behalf of the hundreds of adolescents and families who benefit from their kindness, we extend our gratitude to Bonnie and David Hough. n

Young People & Their Families

It is fitting that family plays such an integral role in the care adolescents receive at The

Hough Center for Eating Disorders. The center itself was created as a way for one family to honor the memory of its matriarch, Nancy Rambeau Hough, who was a long-time supporter of children’s programs.

Gifts from Nancy’s husband, the late Richard T. Hough, and their son and daughter-in-law David and Bonnie Hough brought the center to life in 2007. Of his mother, David said, she “was a total dynamo.” Now, that same dynamism is seen each day in the efforts of The Hough Center staff as they work to help young women and men overcome anorexia, bulimia and other forms of eating disorders. To date, more than 500 adolescents have found renewed health and hope through the center’s treatments and overcome these potentially life-threatening diseases.

“To watch parents find their role as coaches and at the same time, see adolescents become empowered to overcome their illness is deeply gratifying,” said Dr. Kathleen Mammel, director Adolescent Medicine at Beaumont, Royal Oak and director of The Hough Center

for Eating Disorders.

The Hough Center has been a leader in bringing family-based therapy to Michigan. This treatment approach is favored by a growing number of experts as the most effective for adolescents. The process involves parents in all aspects of care and trains them to manage their child’s meals and nutritional intake. Parents also take part in group therapy and skills-building sessions as do their affected adolescents, making The Hough Center one of only a small number of programs in the country to offer this type of collective therapy for families impacted by eating disorders.

A Legacyfor Future Generations

Beaumont Health System Trustee Herb Tyner had a life-threatening heart condition which resulted in a cardiac bypass and subsequent heart procedure. The Tyners were so grateful to Beaumont and their physician, Dr. Marc Sakwa, for the care that Herb received, they wanted to make a gift – one that would truly make a difference. Dr. Sakwa is the chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at Beaumont, Royal Oak.

Their legacy, the Suzanne & Herbert Tyner Center for Cardiovascular Interventions, will reflect their generosity for generations to come.

“We wanted to show our gratitude to Dr. Sakwa and give back to Beaumont for everything that was done to save my life,” said Herb Tyner. “Beaumont is a first-class institution and we wanted to make it possible for them to help others who have heart conditions.”

In Michigan, heart disease is the number one cause of death. Nationally, an estimated 81 million Americans, roughly 33 percent of the adult population of the country, has one or

more types of cardiovascular disease. Michigan ranks 11th overall nationally in the instance of cardiovascular disease.

The Tyner Center is part of a long-range plan that will benefit not only the patients in our communities, but also patients from across the country and around the world – setting the standards that others can only hope to achieve. More than 200,000 interventional, non-surgical, cardiovascular procedures are performed at Beaumont each year. These procedures open narrowed coronary arteries to improve blood flow to the heart.

In the Tyner Center, Beaumont cardiovascular physicians will have the capability of demonstrating and teaching the very procedures and device applications that they have created for interventional care to attending physicians, fellows, residents and medical students. These educational sessions will be held in the center and will also be broadcast to locations around the world via teleconferencing. This will particularly enhance cardiovascular

Suzanne & Herb Tyner

health care in remote regions where access to this leading-edge technology is limited.

Beaumont doctors have an international reputation for pioneering groundbreaking research in the use of pacemakers, angioplasty and stenting. They have also introduced the use of highly sophisticated CT and MRI technology to revolutionize the practice of cardiovascular medicine by facilitating faster and more accurate diagnoses of heart and vascular diseases. The Suzanne & Herbert

Tyner Center for Cardiovascular Interventions will provide a dedicated space that will offer opportunities to take research and innovation in this field across our region and throughout the world.

“Cardiovascular medicine continues to make tremendous advances in treatment methods and patient care. The gift from Suzanne and Herb Tyner is enabling Beaumont to be among the best in this specialty,” said Dr. Sakwa.

“The greatest benefit of their gift is for our patients.”

Patients who will benefit from the findings and outcomes of this research are not all strangers – they are our family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. On behalf of each of them, we thank Suzanne and Herb Tyner and their family for their exceptionally generous gift in support of cardiovascular care. n

a MissionFulfilling

My wife and I have been extremely blessed in so many ways and it is an honor to be able to share our blessings with Beaumont. —Wayne WebberWayne and Joan Webber have a long history of philanthropy in this community, funding

health care, education and programs that feed the hungry throughout metropolitan Detroit. Their concern for improving the health status of Macomb County residents was the primary motivation for their very significant gift to Beaumont Health System. Their generosity has underwritten two vital programs that are bringing exceptional cardiac care and leading-edge technology to patients in Macomb County.

The significant population growth in the Macomb County region had resulted in an urgent need for an expansion and renovation of the Beaumont, Troy campus and its medical centers. Priority projects were identified and a master site plan was developed that would handle existing patient volumes as well as meet the anticipated needs in Macomb County and the surrounding area. Wayne and Joan Webber chose to become partners in this endeavor. Two important facilities now bear their names.

The Wayne & Joan Webber Imaging Center features Beaumont’s first completely open MRI. The open MRI was developed particularly for those who are anxious during the imaging procedure. More space is available around the patient so that the sense of lying in a narrow tunnel is alleviated. This technology offers patients an enhanced level of comfort and efficiency without diminishing the imaging precision.

“This is an amazing accomplishment and an extraordinary gift from the Webbers. We will be able to serve more patients because they will be able to come here seven days a week and not have to wait,” said Duane Mezwa, M.D., corporate chief, Imaging Services, Beaumont Health System.

The Wayne & Joan Webber Cardiac Progressive Care Center is a 40-bed unit that includes an 8-bed short stay observation area. The center has significantly enhanced care

Wayne & Joan Webber

and treatment for cardiac patients at Beaumont, Troy and is staffed by a team of highly trained nurses and doctors who specialize in cardiac care. The center also features state-of-the-art monitoring equipment. Progressive care units provide a “step down” from intensive care and are designed to meet the needs of patients who still require closer monitoring than is provided on a regular inpatient unit.

“The Webber Cardiac Progressive Care Center is a place where patients recover from very complicated cardiovascular surgical cases,” said Douglas Westveer, M.D., chief of Cardiology at Beaumont Hospital, Troy.

Nearly 60 percent of the patients who come to Beaumont, Troy reside in Macomb County and thousands of others are served at the Beaumont Medical Center, Macomb. The Webbers’ generosity will enhance care for residents of their home county and all others who come to the center for care.

“We are very fortunate to have Wayne and Joan Webber give such a generous gift to Beaumont in support of programs that serve Macomb County. Their loyalty and philanthropic spirit are inspiring,” said Tom Brisse, president, Beaumont, Troy.

The Webbers have always been generous and giving is not new to the couple. “My wife and I have been extremely blessed in so many ways and it is an honor to be able to share our blessings with Beaumont,” commented Wayne Webber.

The Webbers’ exceptional gift will support these two important projects, which have been designed to better serve our patients with high-quality health care and innovative technology. On behalf of the thousands of patients who rely on Beaumont for cardiovascular and imaging services, we extended our deepest gratitude. n

The Powerof Giving

Maddie & Sid Forbesbefore achievable. This gift will provide the highest quality of care and safety possible to our orthopaedic community and ensure the best possible surgical outcomes.”

The Forbes family is very happy to support Beaumont Hospitals’ orthopaedic center and the creation of a new joint replacement center and orthopaedic initiatives.

“Musculoskeletal conditions are the leading cause of disability in this country and with our aging population, there has never been a greater opportunity to improve the quality of life for so many people. Beaumont’s orthopaedic program is one of the best in the nation,” said Sid.

The Forbes family has a long history of philanthropy in this community. They have given generously to the arts as well as education.

“Our family is very proud to support the Orthopaedic Center at Beaumont. We salute Beaumont Hospitals for everything they give to our community by operating such an exceptional facility,” added Sid.

We thank Maddie and Sid Forbes and their family for a gift that will benefit tens of thousands of orthopaedic patients today and well into the future. n

Maddie and Sid Forbes have had a long relationship with Beaumont Health System. They’ve been married 53 years, raised their three children in Oakland County and all of their 11 grandchildren were born at Beaumont.

“We’ve always felt that Beaumont is a very special place for our family. Actually, we’ve spent many hours in the Beaumont ER with our children,” said Maddie.

In the spring of 2011, Beaumont proudly dedicated the Madeline & Sidney Forbes Family

Orthopaedic Center and recognized this exceptionally generous family. The center is the largest inpatient unit on the Royal Oak campus and nearly 15,000 surgical patients are admitted to the center each year. The center offers a dedicated joint replacement unit, a rehabilitation unit and general services for patients with traumatic injuries, spine disorders, orthopaedic cancers and diseases of the bone. This beautifully appointed center is staffed by certified orthopaedic nurses, clinical nurse practitioners, physical therapists, occupational therapists and nursing assistants.

“Our main focus is to get our patients moving quickly so they can return to their normal lives,” said Kristine Sutton, R.N., administrative nurse manager.

Within the center, the 35-bed joint replacement unit is dedicated solely to the care of patients undergoing surgical joint replacements — hips, knees, shoulders and ankles. The unit features an innovative multidisciplinary approach that coordinates all aspects of care to address patient needs.

As a national leader in orthopaedic care, this wonderful gift from the Forbes family will allow Beaumont to take this program to the next level, benefiting our patients and the community at large.

Harry N. Herkowitz, M.D., chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Beaumont, Royal Oak said, “This most generous gift from the Forbes family will pave the way for us to provide orthopaedic care to our patients and their families at a level never

Patients come to Beaumont for treatment because they find options and opportunities for care that don’t even exist in most medical centers. Beaumont’s clinical programs and services for cancer patients include dedicated inpatient units, inpatient and home hospice care, risk assessment, genetic testing and counseling. We also offer infusion centers for the delivery of chemotherapy and multidisciplinary clinics that focus on specific sites of disease – long the hallmark of truly advanced cancer centers. These include clinics for the following: pediatric oncology; liver and pancreas; breast; head and neck; prostate and genitourinary; colorectal; thoracic; lung; and melanoma/skin cancer. In addition to traditional clinical services, Beaumont offers one of the most extensive integrative medicine programs in the country.

For three generations, the exceptional philanthropic spirit of the Rose family has continued to have a profound impact

on Oncology Services at Beaumont. The family’s generosity to The Campaign for Beaumont Hospitals has helped underwrite equipment, programs and services that benefit our cancer patients every day. Their legacy has continued with Warren Rose, grandson of Edward and Lillian Rose, who is currently a member of the Beaumont Health System and Foundation Boards of Directors and has served on the Campaign Executive Committee and chaired the Oncology Campaign Committee. Warren and his wife, Carol Ann Rose are proud to continue the family tradition of philanthropy.

The most recent gift from the Rose family will help us to create a Cancer Genetics Center that will become the home to our Cancer Genetics Program and will be located at the Rose Cancer Center.

“My family is honored to continue the tradition that began two decades ago when we named the Rose Cancer Center

in memory of my grandparents. It is our pleasure to support Beaumont in its mission of providing excellent care for cancer patients,” said Warren Rose.

Tens of thousands of patients have turned to the Rose

Cancer Center for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. So many lives have been touched and so many lives have been saved because of the Rose Family’s exceptional investment in Beaumont. For the more than 4,000 newly diagnosed cancer patients who come to Beaumont each year and the thousands more who continue to receive follow-up care, we extend our deepest appreciation to Sheldon and Joan, Irving and Audrey, Leslie, and Warren and Carol Ann Rose for their vision and exceptional generosity. n

The Rose family’s connection to Beaumont Health System began when the family chose to honor Lillian and Edward Rose with a gift from their estate by naming the Rose Cancer

Center at Beaumont, Royal Oak.

The naming of the cancer center was the start of a relationship with the Rose family that has continued for more than 20 years. Their support for Oncology Services at Beaumont has established standards of care in radiation therapy that are light years ahead of other oncology programs. Because of the family’s continued generosity, the integration between the art of technology and clinical management of patients began in the Rose Family Adaptive

Oncology Imaging Suite. Their gifts have allowed our physicians to translate research into clinical practice, ensuring that our patients could benefit from the groundbreaking diagnostic and treatment options.

The very first linear accelerator equipped with online guidance and intensity modulated therapy was developed here by Beaumont physicians and scientists. With generous gifts from the Rose family, research being conducted in the Adaptive Oncology Imaging Suite has led to improved treatments, better patient outcomes and the ability to detect the recurrence of disease in its earliest stages. Over the past decade, Beaumont radiation oncologists have changed the standards of practice used for cancer treatment throughout the world.

“Support of the Adaptive Oncology Imaging Suite has enabled Beaumont to continue its leading-edge work on designing individualized, personalized radiation therapy. People receiving radiation for their cancer will directly benefit from the rapid translation of science to the clinical setting,” said John Robertson, M.D., interim health system chair, Radiation Oncology.

A LovingTribute

“She was a wonderful wife, mother and friend,” said Max Ernst. After 40 years of marriage, two children – son Dr. Robert Ernst and wife Deborah; daughter Julie Neff and husband Steven; and six grandchildren – Max wanted to find a special way to honor his late wife’s beloved memory.

With the support and encouragement of his second wife Debra, Max and his family considered the possibilities of naming a center after his late wife, Ellen. When they reached a decision, they chose to make a gift to expand the existing Heart & Vascular Assessment Center at Beaumont, Royal Oak. Named the Ernst Cardiovascular Center in memory

of Ellen Ernst, the expansion has more than doubled the size of the facility and features the latest in 3-D echocardiography equipment.

“The center has enhanced Beaumont’s position as a destination site for complex surgical care and chronic disease management, as well as its reputation as a regional referral center,” said

Dr. Marc Sakwa, chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at Beaumont, Royal Oak.

“The need is critical,” Dr. Sakwa added. “Heart disease remains the number one killer both in Michigan and the nation. With the opening of the expanded Ernst Center, Beaumont is poised to save more lives by addressing the heart health needs of multiple generations – including young athletes.”

Max and his family wanted to make sure that young people, especially student athletes, would have access to heart screening services. The response to the Healthy Heart Check, which is designed to prevent sudden cardiac death in students, has far exceeded expectations. Since the center opened in October 2010, nearly 7,000 Michigan high school students, including athletes, have been screened for potentially deadly heart conditions. Of those screened, 663 have been sent for follow-up with their physicians; another 41 were advised to stop their participation in sports until they met with a cardiologist; and there was one case

of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most dangerous of all heart conditions among young people.

Located on the first floor of the Royal Oak hospital, adjacent to the east lobby, the center features various multidisciplinary clinics, including the following:

n Heart and Vascular Screening Clinic

n Atrial Fibrillation Clinic

n Heart Valve Clinic

n Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection Clinic

Two other clinics are scheduled to open in the future:

n Advanced Coronary Artery Disease Clinic

n Heart Failure Clinic

“This will have an immediate impact on patient care. What excites me most is the leading-edge care and the world-class approach to helping people before they have a heart attack. As honored as we are to do something worthwhile, in five years, when we look back at the lives that have been saved at this center, the results will be even more exciting,” said Max.

On behalf of the thousands of patients of all ages who will benefit from the center’s services, we extend our deepest gratitude to Max and Debra Ernst and their family. Their generosity is truly transforming and saving lives. n

The center, located in the Imaging Center at Beaumont, Royal Oak, offers a comprehensive approach to diagnostics and treatment. The multidisciplinary team of specialists includes breast surgeons, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, oncology nurse navigators, breast imaging specialists, genetic counselors, social workers, dieticians and experts in reconstruction, lymphedema and cancer rehabilitation. This vital collaboration helps ensure that every patient benefits from a coordinated approach to care that maximizes the opportunity for successful treatment.

“Renovation of the center enabled us to create a more comfortable and private space for our patients and to establish designated areas for patient consultation and counseling,” said Nayana Dekhne, M.D., corporate medical

director of the Breast Care Centers of Beaumont Health System. “In addition, the endowed fund will allow us to focus our research on approaches to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer that will ultimately save lives.”

By establishing the Marilyn & Walter Wolpin Endowed Fund for Breast Cancer Research, the Wolpins will provide our Beaumont physicians and researchers with resources, in perpetuity, to initiate groundbreaking studies, expand current research and devise new treatments to help patients overcome breast cancer and regain control of their lives and futures.

The impact of Walter and Marilyn’s contribution is truly immeasurable. Their generosity will continue to

touch thousands of lives each year. In addition, because of Walter’s visionary leadership, we have been able to secure philanthropic support for critical capital, research, endowment and program needs throughout the Beaumont Health System.

We are deeply grateful to Walter and Marilyn for their generosity of spirit and for all that they have personally done to ensure a successful campaign. On behalf of the thousands of patients who rely on the services of the Marilyn & Walter Wolpin Comprehensive Breast

Care Center, we extend our gratitude and appreciation. Beaumont is very fortunate to count the Wolpins among its most loyal supporters. n

Walter Wolpin is a highly respected and successful businessman who has been involved as a volunteer at Beaumont for more than 20 years. He has served on the Beaumont Foundation Board of Directors since 1990, and is also a member of the Beaumont Health System Board of Directors. In 2007, he graciously agreed to chair The Campaign for

Beaumont Hospitals.

Walter’s commitment to this effort has been exceptional. His longstanding relationships throughout the community have helped secure numerous very significant gifts in support of the campaign, taking us well beyond our $170 million campaign goal. He has been an exceptional volunteer and Beaumont is honored to have had him as the leader of this campaign.

Early in the campaign, Walter and his wife Marilyn chose to make a most generous gift in support of a program that was very important to them. Their gift named the Marilyn &

Walter Wolpin Comprehensive Breast Care Center at Beaumont, Royal Oak and established the Marilyn & Walter Wolpin Endowed Fund for Breast Care Research.

Each year, an average of one to two percent of screening mammograms at Beaumont result in findings that require further investigation, testing or intervention. That means one to two thousand women each year face the possibility of learning that they have breast cancer or benign breast disease. The Marilyn & Walter Wolpin Comprehensive Breast Care

Center is able to provide swift, start-of-the-art testing and care for women who are diagnosed with either benign or malignant breast illnesses.

“As chair of the campaign, Marilyn and I understood our role to be one of leadership. We felt strongly connected and personally involved with the concept of a comprehensive breast care center. Marilyn and I are so proud of the difference it has made for patients facing this challenge,” said Walter.

Mothers Giving for

and NewbornsThe generosity of the Cotton family has made an extraordinary difference for mothers and newborns at Beaumont, Grosse Pointe, allowing the hospital to create a physical space that meshes comfort with innovative technology, equipment and patient care. Their very generous gift is a fitting legacy for a family that has done so much for the health and well-being of the people of Michigan.

For brothers Jon, Michael and Sean Cotton, their gift was an opportunity to acknowledge the leadership of their parents.

The substantial gift by the brothers to name the Shery L. and David B. Cotton, M.D.

Family Birth Center is reflective of their father’s lifelong commitment to others. “He’s a high-risk obstetrician, so when we were younger, he was either at the hospital preserving lives or giving lectures across the country,” said Jon.

Anne Marie McCarren, M.D., chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Beaumont, Grosse Pointe, recalls her years as Dr. Cotton’s student. “He took care of the sickest of the sick, and personally I’m a much stronger clinician and physician because I trained under him,” she said. “Now, with this gift, his legacy continues for future generations. And, as always, the patients are the ones who benefit.”

Their gift has made possible a beautifully appointed facility for new parents and their babies. This includes private, state-of-the-art labor, delivery and recovery suites that create warm and friendly surroundings conducive to pleasant birthing experiences. There are Jacuzzi tubs in some of the labor rooms. The goal of the center was to create a comfortable and soothing environment, a kind of “home away from home” for new families that also offers the highest quality care for mothers and their newborns. The Cottons’ gift will also support research in the areas of maternal and infant health.

The Cotton FamilyIn addition, the most comprehensive education and support programs in Michigan are offered, including classes on breastfeeding, infant massage, parenting, exercises, childbirth education, baby care and safety, grandparenting, and preparing for new additions to the family.

Our Parenting Program provides extensive support to first-time moms and dads to help them transition into their new roles. Big Brother/Big Sister classes and CPR for family and friends are also ongoing.

After the baby is born, this is a very special time for mothers and infants to bond and adjust to new routines. Mothers

are also encouraged to keep babies in their private rooms as much as possible. This helps them become comfortable with their new role and provides many opportunities to ask questions of the nurses or to request a demonstration of such things as baby care and breastfeeding.

“My dad spent his life taking care of mothers and babies and now both of our parents are fully committed to improving the care of our community through their work. What they have accomplished is amazing, so honoring them through the Family Birth Center makes perfect sense. This was an important gift for us,” said Jon.

Beaumont, Grosse Pointe extends heartfelt gratitude to Shery and Dr. David Cotton, Lindsay and Jon Cotton, Nancy and Sean Cotton, and Lisa and Michael Cotton on behalf of the hundreds of mothers and babies who will benefit from their generosity every year. n

Barbara and Fred Erb, their son John and his wife Debbie Erb, are dedicated philanthropists whose gifts are making a difference throughout this community and the region. The Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation’s mission is to nurture environmentally healthy and culturally vibrant communities in metropolitan Detroit and to support initiatives to restore the viability of the Great Lakes Basin. The Erb Family Foundation’s generous gift to Beaumont created the Erb Family Molecular and Genetics Laboratory for the

Assessment and Prevention of Chronic Diseases.

Their gift is intended to develop better options for diagnosing and treating Alzheimer’s disease. However, the Erb Family Laboratory has become the cornerstone of the very sophisticated BioBank within the Beaumont Research Institute. Recognizing that superior patient care integrates state-of-the-art methods and technologies with healthcare delivery, the Erb Family Laboratory is contributing significantly to expanding the scope and complexity of Beaumont’s many research initiatives.

“The Erb family’s donation to establish the Erb Family Molecular and Genetics

Laboratory for the Assessment and Prevention of Chronic Diseases at Beaumont is a transformational gift that has brought our research capability to the cutting-edge of technology. Their generosity has allowed us to build an outstanding facility for serving our patients through the excellent ideas of our investigators and has permitted us to explore exciting research ideas in the laboratory related to Alzheimer’s disease and other chronic diseases,” said David Felten, M.D., Ph.D., medical director and vice president of Research, Beaumont Health System.

A number of highly specialized pieces of equipment have been purchased for the Erb Family Laboratory and these devices have allowed us to refine our analyses and evaluate thousands of genes and proteins rapidly, thus enabling us to define biological fingerprints of individual conditions and to translate that information into useful clinical tools.

World-class health care institutions don’t simply maintain their quality of care – they reach for a higher level of performance and understanding. At Beaumont, we’re always looking for improvements in technique and approach.

Thanks to the support for research and its subsequent findings, Beaumont physicians are diagnosing diseases in the earlier stages and treating them more effectively, thus saving the lives of more patients than ever before.

“There is nothing better than making a medical discovery through research and bringing those advancements directly to the patient’s bedside. Our family is proud to support Beaumont’s researchers as they continue making

breakthroughs in understanding Alzheimer’s and other chronic diseases,” said Debbie Erb, who is a member of the Beaumont Foundation Board of Directors and a Health System Trustee.

With more than 900 clinical trials currently underway at the Beaumont Research Institute, we gratefully thank the Erb family for their generosity and compassion that is touching tens of thousands of lives each year. n

The Hands-On Parent Education (HOPE) Center at the CHD continues to provide intensive behavioral intervention services for young children with autism. Although there is no cure for autism, studies have shown that early intervention can be especially effective in conjunction with intensive Applied Behavioral Analysis interventions. The HOPE Center also offers Group Intensive Family Training (GIFT) and Children with Autism Reaching Excellence (CARE) programs.

The HOPE Center offers a multitude of services to address a broad range of issues, including autism, feeding disorders, behavior management issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder and social skills training. Each year, more than 7,450 visits are made to the HOPE Center, positively impacting hundreds of families from throughout the community.

“The staff of the center and I would like to extend our deep appreciation to the Polk family for their ongoing and generous support. That support has allowed us to provide enhanced services for children and families, extend staff education and expand community outreach opportunities,” said John Frauenheim, M.D., director of the Beaumont Center for Human Development.

Beaumont Health System extends its deepest gratitude to Bobbi and Steve Polk and their family for their generosity and support of the thousands of children whose lives have been forever changed by the Center for Human Development. n

We established the endowed chair in developmental- behavioral pediatrics because we wanted to support continued research and training to help children in need. — Steve Polk

LegacyNearly 25 years ago, Winifred and Ralph L. Polk Jr. were one of the early benefactors of Beaumont’s Center for Human Development. It was their generosity that allowed Beaumont to build and expand this vital community resource for children with developmental, behavioral and learning disabilities.

Their son Steve, a Beaumont Health System Trustee, and his wife Bobbi have continued this exceptional legacy by making a significant gift to establish The Polk Family Endowed Chair in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics at Beaumont’s Center for Human Development (CHD). For parents of children with learning or behavioral disabilities, nothing matters more than finding the right kind of help for their child.

Beaumont’s CHD helps hundreds of parents each year receive outstanding diagnostic and treatment support that is tailored specifically to the needs of each patient. The gift from the

Polks enables the center to attract and retain some of the most respected academic and research professionals and ensures that it will continue to meet the ever-expanding needs of its patients and families.

“As a family, we’ve always strived to support endeavors that improve the lives of children. The Center for Human Development is important because of the specialized care and interventions they offer that cannot be found anywhere else. We established the endowed chair in developmental-behavioral pediatrics because we wanted to support continued research and training to help children in need,” said Steve Polk.

Through their generous gift to establish The Polk Family Endowed Chair in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, they have provided an important resource that helps the center’s team reach children with complex issues and create a unique treatment path that will help each

“My grandfather was known for his ability to see success long before others. It was part of his nature and he passed on to so many others this great passion for service, community and customers. It’s become

the foundation of everything we do,” said Dick Fruehauf Jr.

Their gift benefits the more than 1,000 patients each year who receive joint replacements at Beaumont, Grosse Pointe. In addition to patient room upgrades, the center now offers programs for teaching prevention, wellness and pain management, and provides intensive physical and integrative therapies to help patients recover from surgery more quickly.

“Mom and Dad have always cared deeply about the community in which we were raised,” says son Ken Fruehauf. “This gift is a small way of giving back to those around us. Their generosity is really in character with how they have raised us and run their business.”

Commenting on the Fruehaufs’ gift, Beaumont, Grosse Pointe president Rick

The best teachers do not simply share information. They inspire leadership, commitment and intellectual achievement. The Sandor H. Shoichet, M.D. / William M. Davidson Endowment for Excellence in Internal Medicine Education has given Beaumont Health System resources to train our medical educators to achieve an exceptional level of clinical teaching skill.

A gift from the William M. Davidson Foundation in honor of Dr. Shoichet, assistant program director for Internal

Medical and Ambulatory Care at Beaumont, Royal Oak, has underwritten the endowment. Because Internal Medicine covers such a broad range of subspecialties, this effort has the potential to reach a wide number of residents, fellows, attending staff and medical school students throughout the Beaumont system, which ultimately translates into superior care for our patients.

Dr. Shoichet and his team are working to achieve a national and international

reputation for physician education at Beaumont with the goal of creating “an environment conducive to learning,” said Dr. Shoichet. “I’ve spent my career at Beaumont because of our mutual commitment to education.”

Also funded by the Davidson Foundation’s gift, is the William Davidson Internal Medicine Education Lecture series, which will feature nationally recognized speakers in medical education. This lecture will honor Mr. Davidson’s life-long commitment to

furthering education. Dr. Shoichet’s goal is to achieve national prominence for this lecture, ensuring its ability to attract the best and brightest to the Beaumont stage.

For the instructors, students and patients who will benefit from the exceptional teaching made possible by this gift, we extend our most sincere gratitude to the William M. Davidson Foundation. n

Lung Cancer Center will be established at Beaumont, Royal Oak. After a personal experience with cancer, Laurie and Tom counted their blessings and then made plans to help others.

The goal of the center is to bring patients with lung cancer into an environment in which they will receive timely, compassionate and appropriate interventions.

“We know firsthand, how difficult it was and how comforting it would be to create a place where the patient and the whole Beaumont team could come together confidentially and securely to strategize about the patient’s needs. We think of it in business terms, and it’s creating a ‘war room’ right in the middle of Beaumont, so together as a team, the battle can be fought to win lives, patient by patient,” said Laurie Cunnington.

In addition to offering superior clinical care, the multidisciplinary team will work

collaboratively to address the psychosocial, physical and emotional needs that patients will face during this journey.

“What price can we put on life?” said Laurie. “This is one thing we can do to help others who are facing the same challenges we faced on our road to recovery.”

Beaumont is committed to providing the full spectrum of cancer care services to best meet the needs of cancer patients and their families. The Cunnington Center will help ensure that Beaumont keeps this commitment.

“I would like to reiterate my thanks to the Cunningtons for their generous gift that will create this much needed center in Southeast Michigan,” said Robert Welsh, vice chief of Surgical Services, chief of Thoracic Surgery.

“This was a great opportunity for us to help,” said Tom Cunnington. “We are grateful to have the privilege to do it.”

Although Amber and David Flint spend much of their time in Aspen and Palm Beach, Michigan is still where their roots are. This affection for their home state led them to make a significant gift to benefit research programs at Beaumont.

“We want to help the people of our community,” David said. “It’s so true,” said Amber, “without your health, you really don’t have anything at all.”

A portion of their gift is supporting ground-breaking research in the use of muscle stem

cells in the treatment of prostate cancer. The remainder will underwrite the development of a multidisciplinary, high-risk program to focus on the disease prevention aspects of breast health.

“This very generous gift from the Flints will help us develop the infrastructure for our

breast cancer research program. We are very fortunate to have their support,” said Dr. Nayana Dekhne, corporate medical director of the Breast Care Centers at Beaumont Health System.

“My father passed away from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer and breast cancer are two

of patients with complex medical and neurological conditions.

The Neuroscience Center has many features designed to make recovery more successful, including a day room; an inpatient physical therapy unit that offers occupational, speech and language therapy individualized for each patient’s needs; and stroke education for patients and families ensuring that successful recovery continues after discharge. The center is staffed by neurosurgeons, neurologists and a highly

specialized nursing team who care for patients with chronic and acute illnesses of the nervous system.

On behalf of the thousands of neuroscience patients who receive their care at Beaumont, Royal Oak, we extend gratitude and appreciation to Barbara and Tom Denomme for their most generous support. n

Cis Maisel Kellman wanted to do something to help women coping with heart disease. She chose to make a very generous gift to establish the Cis Maisel Kellman Endowed Fund for Women’s Heart Health.

The purpose of the fund is to raise awareness among women in the community of their risk for heart disease and to ensure that female patients are cared for in a way that recognizes their unique heart health issues. Cis Maisel Kellman’s gift will help

support patient care, research and education initiatives carried out through the Florine

& J. Peter Ministrelli Women’s Heart

Center under the guidance of the center’s director, Pamela Marcovitz, M.D.

“As a volunteer with a strong interest in health care issues, I recognize the need to support research that will help women with heart disease get the diagnosis and treatment that is needed,” said Cis. “My

hope is that one day we can prevent heart disease altogether.”

The endowed fund provides support for a research scientist who is designing and implementing research protocols for women with heart disease. The fund will also support existing educational programs for the community and the purchase of diagnostic equipment that will help identify heart health issues as early as possible.

“We deeply appreciate the gift from Cis Maisel Kellman. Her support helps us in vital research that can change the way women with heart disease are diagnosed and treated,” said Dr. Pamela Marcovitz.

Beaumont is most grateful to Cis Maisel Kellman for her very generous gift in support of our efforts to better detect and prevent heart disease in women. n

Cis Maisel KellmanBefore the Ghesquiere Family Center for

Children’s Surgery opened its doors, the pre-operative holding areas and surgical suites at Beaumont were not set up to be child-specific. Thanks to a generous gift from director emeritus Chuck Ghesquiere and his wife Barbara, Beaumont now has a dedicated pediatric surgery center. The center is staffed by specially trained pediatric nurses who work with a team of pediatric anesthetists, anesthesiologists

and surgical technicians, ensuring the highest level of care for our neonatal and pediatric patients.

“Kids are very important to us. I can’t tell you how many comments I get about the Center for Children’s Surgery,” said Chuck. “People love the walk-over bridge from the parking deck, too. I hear about that as well.”

The Center for Children’s Surgery is focused solely on children and families and

making them feel safe and comfortable as they prepare for surgery. The pre-operative area offers DVD players with movies and cartoons to keep children entertained and distracted as they await their procedure.

Red wagons are used to transport the younger pediatric surgical patients along the corridors that are decorated with a child-friendly theme. There’s even a painted river on the floor to follow to the surgical suite as well as stars twinkling above.

“This special place, which focuses strictly on pediatric care continues to be a leader in children’s surgery,” said Michael Trese, M.D., chief of Pediatric and Adult Vitreoretinal Surgery.

On behalf of the 14,000 children who have had surgery in the Ghesquiere

Family Center for Children’s Surgery, we extend our gratitude to Chuck and Barbara Ghesquiere for this wonderfully generous gift. n

We are very grateful to the Roncellis for their support of the outstanding orthopedic center at Beaumont, Troy. – Tom Brisse

The Roncelli family set a new standard of philanthropy for Beaumont, Troy by establishing the Roncelli Family

Orthopedic Center. The center provides vital medical care and services for orthopedic patients and their families. The work that is done every day in the center helps patients regain movement and decrease pain, helping them resume the activities of daily life more quickly.

More than 4,400 orthopedic procedures are performed at Beaumont, Troy each

year. This high volume demonstrates both the need that exists for high quality orthopedic care and the reputation for excellence the Roncelli Family

Orthopedic Center maintains.

Patient education, rehabilitative therapy and caregiver training programs have been successful due to the support received from the Roncelli family. Their generous gift has enabled our orthopedic nursing team to ensure the best experience possible for the thousands

of patients who come to Beaumont, Troy for their orthopedic care.

“We are very grateful to the Roncellis for their support of the outstanding orthopedic center at Beaumont, Troy,” said Tom Brisse, president, Beaumont, Troy.

On behalf of all of our orthopedic patients and families, we extend heartfelt gratitude to Carol and David Roncelli, Sharon and Gary

Roncelli, Lisa and Scott Roncelli, and Linda and Tom Wickersham for their significant gift to establish the Roncelli Family Orthopedic Center at Beaumont, Troy. n

Through the exemplary philanthropic spirit of Dominic and Frances Moceri, Beaumont physicians have been able to make significant progress towards identifying, understanding and treating abnormal heart rhythms. These findings will not only impact patients in our community, but will also ultimately affect cardiovascular patients all across the country who live with heart rhythm-related disorders.

“The Moceris have done much to lay the foundation for the future of heart rhythm

research at Beaumont. Their gift has supported several important studies, helped us purchase research equipment and given us the opportunity to evaluate what we have learned and what impact it will have on our patients,” said David E. Haines, M.D., director of the Heart Rhythm Center.

With the support of the Dominic & Frances Moceri Heart Rhythm Research and Education Fund, Beaumont physicians and scientists have been able to challenge the status quo of earlier research findings,

explore the triggers that cause abnormal heart rhythms, develop new treatment tools and discover additional uses for existing technology. Their gift has provided critical funding that has allowed investigators to study the intricacies of the electrical system of the heart and resultant cardiac conditions.

In addition, their gift helped equip and renovate the Dominic & Frances

Moceri Heart Rhythm Suite, one of three electrophysiology labs, which are part of Heart and Vascular Services. This

facility is staffed by nine experienced electrophysiologists who are highly skilled in diagnosing and treating all types of arrhythmias.

On behalf of the tens of thousands of cardiovascular patients who visit Beaumont’s Heart Rhythm Center every year, we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to Dominic and Frances Moceri for their wonderful generosity. n

Rose Assarian Vicki & Tom CelaniA very generous gift from Rose Assarian has allowed Beaumont to purchase equipment for leading-edge cancer research. The findings from these studies may one day expand and change the treatment options for our patients.

The Assarian gift also helped create a beautiful new waiting area for radiation oncology patients and their families at Beaumont, Royal Oak. This kind of support makes a difference to the thousands of patients who come to Beaumont for cancer diagnostics, treatment and follow-up care each year.

“Beaumont has taken wonderful care of my family. I was happy to make a gift that will help cancer patients and their families” said Rose Assarian.

For the generosity and compassion shown to our cancer patients and for the good her gift will make possible, Beaumont is deeply grateful to Rose Assarian. The impact of her gift will be felt for years to come. n

The tiny babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), a critical component of the Beaumont Children’s Hospital, touched the hearts of Beaumont Foundation Board member Tom Celani and his wife Vicki.

Their gift to name the Celani Family Comprehensive Neonatal Intensive

Care Center has had a profound impact on our NICU program, ensuring that our most fragile patients have the very latest in life-saving technology and beautifully renovated private rooms that ensure a comfortable environment for these babies and their families.

On behalf of the nearly 800 newborns who receive the highly specialized care provided in our Level 3 NICU each year, Beaumont gratefully acknowledges the generosity and compassion of the Celani family. n

The Schostak family’s gift to the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine was in keeping with their longstanding tradition of giving back to this community.

“We have a set of core values for our business and for our family. One of those core values is giving back and investing in our community. You have a responsibility, if you are able, to give back to your community whether in education, health care or the

arts,” said David Schostak, speaking on behalf of The Schostak Family Support Foundation.

Of equal importance for the Schostaks was the role they see the medical school playing in the region’s economic future.

With this gift, the Schostak family has made an investment in the long-term success of the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine. This gift will have a

far-reaching impact on the school, its faculty and students, one which will make a very real difference as the school grows and evolves. This type of leadership gift is deeply appreciated.

“Michigan needs 4,000 physicians by 2020 in all specialties. The gift from the Schostak family will help our new medical school reach this goal,” said Robert Folberg, M.D., founding dean of the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine

and chief academic officer of Beaumont Health System.

On behalf of the generations of students who will be educated at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine, we thank the Schostak family for their generosity and commitment to advancing medical education at Beaumont. n

The PowerWhen June Gurwin established the June H. and Robert C. Gurwin Family Endowment Fund, she wanted to honor the memory of her late husband and, at the same time, encourage surgical residents to pursue research in their clinical specialties.

“My husband recieved outstanding care from Beaumont physicians. It has been a pleasure to support the Surgical Residency Program in his memory” said June Gurwin.

Her generosity and foresight have helped to support surgical residents and research initiatives at Beaumont. Research is a common thread that is woven throughout every subspecialty of medicine. It is also the key that unlocks discoveries which lead to new approaches to the diagnoses and treatments that improve patient care outcomes and enhance the quality of life of those who come to us for care.

On behalf of the Beaumont medical staff and generations of surgical residents who will benefit from this gift, we extend our gratitude to June Gurwin for establishing the Gurwin Family Endowment Fund and for her continued commitment to advancing research among our resident physicians. n

For years, Health System Trustee Sylvia Hagenlocker and her husband Ed have supported Beaumont’s philanthropic initiatives, including the Drive to Beat Breast Cancer and our Sharing & Caring program.

Their generous gift to establish the Hagenlocker Cancer Genetics Research and Program Support Fund is furthering leading-edge research and genetics counseling to the benefit of our patients. Beaumont’s Cancer Genetics Program is committed to conducting research, and offering cancer screening and genetics counseling to individuals with strong family or personal histories of cancer. This gives patients and their physicians the information they need to make informed decisions about their care.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Sylvia and Ed Hagenlocker for this very generous gift and for all that they have done to advance oncology services at Beaumont. n

A Passion Giving tofor Medical Research Cancer Genetics Research

There are many ways in which a donor can make a gift to Beaumont. Gifts of cash, appreciated stock and certain in-kind contributions all are gratefully accepted and can have an immediate effect on patient care today. However, when a donor chooses to direct a portion of their estate to Beaumont through a bequest or qualified trust vehicle, they leave a lasting legacy that can influence programs and services for years to come. Donors who advise us of their deferred gift intentions are recognized with membership in our Visionary Circle as well as at the appropriate giving level within The Beaumont Society.

The following donors chose to make a planned gift to benefit a Beaumont program or service that was especially meaningful to them, and we are privileged to be the beneficiary of their exceptional generosity.

Virginia C. ClohsetGifts from the Estate of Virginia Clohset, in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Michael T. Trese, are providing support for research and treatment for retinopathy of prematurity and other related eye diseases that affect newborns. With a heartfelt understanding of the needs of children who are visually impaired, Mrs. Clohset’s generous bequest supports basic science and clinical research in the field of pediatric ophthalmology.

Harry K irk Denler A man of many talents and interests, Harry Kirk Denler was an attorney, inventor and entrepreneur. His substantial bequest through the H. Kirk Denler Trust will support research to advance our understanding of the causes of leukemia and enhance treatment options. Mr. Denler placed great value on medical science and through his remarkable generosity will help others now and for generations to come.

Philanthropy allows us to establish connections with the community that surrounds us — what is good for the community is good for all. Giving helps us find true meaning in life and we can extend a hand to others without expecting anything in return, thereby contributing to the greater good. Our Annual Giving initiatives include our Special Events, Children’s Miracle Network and Annual Fund programs.

Special EventsSpecial events are fundraising vehicles that not only raise money, but also help to increase the visibility of the organization sponsoring the benefit. The ancient Greeks and Romans used special events to build amphitheaters, feed their citizens and support Olympic-style games.

Beaumont holds numerous special events throughout the year to raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network, cancer research, heart and vascular research and a variety of other causes. We extend our gratitude and appreciation to all those who participated in these important fundraising efforts.

From the start of the campaign on January 1, 2005 through October 31, 2011, the Beaumont Foundation Special Events team, in collaboration with volunteers throughout the hospital and surrounding communities, raised more than $9 million for a broad range of Beaumont programs and services.

The Many Ways of Giving

62 63

Children’s Miracle NetworkThe Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) helps to support Beaumont’s Children’s Hospital. CMN is a comprehensive, community-based, national fundraising campaign that touches the lives of nearly 50,000 children and their families in the nine counties of Southeast Michigan each year. Funds raised through CMN helped to support 43 programs or projects at Beaumont’s Children’s Hospital and secured more than $15 million throughout the campaign period.

Annual FundThe annual fund is a key component of the overall campaign to raise philanthropic dollars for Beaumont. Generally, the annual fund receives gifts from individuals rather than corporations, foundations and organizations. Throughout the year, we reach out to grateful patients, their families, other community members, and the health system’s administrators, physicians and staff with requests for support. Their generosity is vital to Beaumont’s mission.

The Annual Fund Program within the Beaumont Foundation is an organized effort to obtain gifts to support equipment, programs, research and education that enhance patient care. The annual fund also helps hospital leadership offset unexpected needs. Unless otherwise designated, a donation to the Beaumont Annual Fund Program goes directly where it is needed most. From the inception of the campaign through the end of October 2011, the Annual Fund Program raised more than $12 million for programs and services across the health system.

Team Giving CampaignThe Team Giving Campaign is an internal fundraising program supported solely by Beaumont employees, volunteers and medical staff. Through this program, a total of nearly $2 million has been raised since January 2005, to support a broad range of Beaumont programs and services. The Beaumont Fund, Employee Assistance Fund, Children’s Miracle Network, Beaumont Hospice and the Rose Cancer Center were among the most popular choices for this group of donors.

Each year, employee ambassadors encourage their co-workers to give what they can to the Team Giving Campaign. Each and every gift is valued, regardless of its size, and participation shows our commitment and support for Beaumont and its health care mission. If it’s great for Beaumont, it’s great for all of us.
