Trinity Health Oakland recently announced that it received a $1 million planned gift from Paul and Cheryl Robertson of Birmingham to benefit cardiovascular services at the Pontiac hospital, according to a press release.
The funds will support advanced cardiovascular care at the hospital, including research, equipment, and enhancing patient care.
The gift which was secured by the health system’s Southeast Michigan Office of Philanthropy, will also honor Kirit Patel, M.D., a longstanding physician at the hospital, who has served as Mr. Robertson’s cardiologist for more than 30 years.

“I can’t tell you how many times Dr. Patel has saved my life,” said Mr. Robertson. “He is the smartest doctor I have ever dealt with across all specialties. The hospital’s cardiovascular program has meant so much to me and my family personally that we were inspired to make this part of our legacy.”
The Robertsons are philanthropists who have supported Trinity Health Oakland over the years.
