CHARLOTTE — A California-based family foundation gave Atrium Health $2 million to boost heart and cancer research.
The money from the William, Jeff and Jennifer Gross Family Foundation will go to Atrium Health Sanger Heart and Vascular Institute & Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute.
Since 2019, the foundation has given Atrium Health a total of $10 million to support clinical research.
Atrium Health Foundation President Mark Griffith said the support has played a key role in advancing patient care.
“Over the past eight years, the enduring generosity of the Gross family has been a driving force for innovation in education, research and clinical care at Atrium Health,” Griffith said. “Their support allows us to expand patient-centered care for cancer and cardiovascular disease.”
