Loren and Jeff Feingold made a lead gift that, with additional support from many generous donors, established the Rosenzweig-Feingold Family Endowed Chair in Pancreatic Disease. This chair honors the inaugural incumbent, Steven D. Freedman, MD, PhD, a world-renowned expert on pancreatic disease and a beloved physician.

Made possible by philanthropy, the Klarman Building was designed with patients and families at the forefront. With its state-of-the-art technologies and comfortable, welcoming spaces, the building is profoundly impacting how Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center delivers care.

By establishing endowments, three generous BIDMC faculty members—Louis R. Caplan, MD, Marc Fisher, MD, and Robert Thomas, MD—are helping to ensure the medical center’s success in years to come, while also creating enduring legacies.

Martin Pollak, MD, Chief of Nephrology, and his team are advancing our understanding of what causes end-stage kidney disease and why this debilitating condition disproportionately affects African Americans. Philanthropy has served as a powerful catalyst in translating their findings into more effective treatments for those who need them most.
