$8 Million Gift for Munson's Heart Center

January 25, 2013
$8 Million Gift for Munson's Heart Center

Munson Medical Center has received the largest single donation in its history – $8 million from the Wayne and Joan Webber Foundation for the hospital's heart center. The center will be named after the family and known as the Webber Heart Center. The gift will allow for additional programs and technology related to cardiac care and improve the hospital's ability to recruit and retain high quality physicians. The Webbers are well known for their philanthropy in southern Michigan, but they also recently donated $500,000 to Paul Oliver Hospital in Frankfort and are supportive of other charitable efforts in Benzie County, where Wayne was born. He is the former owner of W.W. Webber, Inc., a large highway construction firm that he sold in 2005.
