An anonymous donor has given $10 million to Trinity Health Ann Arbor in Michigan to create a neurosciences institute on the hospital campus.
Construction is expected to start later this year, with an anticipated opening in spring 2026, the hospital said in a release.
The donation will fund the expansion of neurosciences services, introduce innovative technologies, and support significant renovations on the sixth floor of the hospital's Reichert Medical Center. The institute also will open with new and expanded outpatient dementia and Alzheimer's care services.
"This gift is not only significant in terms of facilities, programs, and services it will support, but it will also serve as a catalyst for continued growth and progress in the years to come," Dr. Tamer Abdelhak, medical director of neuroscience for Trinity Health — Southeast Michigan, said in the press release. "Future generations will directly benefit from this generosity, experiencing improved coordination of care, and greater access to specialists, all of which will contribute to enhanced outcomes and a higher quality of life for our patients."
The institute will focus on three key areas: ambulatory clinic space expansion, program development, and elevation of care.
Trinity Health Ann Arbor's neuroscience program has attracted patients from across Southeast Michigan, the release said. Investments over the last three years have led to a doubling of patient volume across neuroscience subspecialties, including geriatric neurology, stroke care, spine, brain tumors, brain aneurysms, and epilepsy.
"Philanthropy is a powerful force for change and is essential to advancing our healing mission," Doug Ferrick, regional vice president of philanthropy for Trinity Health — Southeast Michigan, said in the release. "A gift like this can uplift communities and significantly improve lives. We are committed to utilizing this gift effectively to maximize its impact on our patients.
