Over the years, The Fraternal Order of the Eagles
has made several generous donations to the Heart Institute in
support of purchasing
innovative technology. “This wall is something we always
wanted to do,” Prout said. “There have been families
in the past who have donated to the Heart Institute and wanted
to have a person’s name recognized. Now we have a place to
do that.
” The Caring Hearts Wall is located in the Upper
Michigan Heart Institute on the fourth floor of the Robert C. Neldberg
Building on College Avenue. Those interested in making a gift to
the Upper Michigan Heart Institute are encouraged to call 225-4942
or 1-800-562-9753, ext. 4942. (MGH photo)
