CHI St. Vincent announced a $5 million gift from Isabel and John Ed Anthony for the creation of the Anthony Center for Advanced Cardiac Care at CHI St. Vincent Infirmary in Little Rock. This is the largest single gift that CHI St. Vincent has ever received.
CHI St. Vincent Heart Institute is the largest heart program in the state and is ranked #1 for heart care in Central Arkansas by U.S. News & World Report. The Anthony Center for Advanced Cardiac Care will allow CHI St. Vincent to continue to expand its heart program for the most complex cases, combining inpatient and outpatient heart care services, including cardiac electrophysiology and cardiothoracic surgery programs in one location.
“This gift signals a bright future for cardiac healthcare in the state of Arkansas,” said Chad Aduddell, market president of CHI St. Vincent. “We are honored by Isabel and John Ed Anthony’s generosity and for their long-time support of our ministry. Their support over the years has allowed St. Vincent to enhance its healthcare services to the community and create a positive impact across the state.”
