Georgia Governor Nathan Deal said: "This is a great day for Georgia. The Marcus Foundation has been incredibly generous to Atlanta in so many areas, and this is an especially important gift because it will help provide better access to expert healthcare for millions of Georgians.

In 2012, the Marcus Foundation invested $20m to establish the Marcus Heart Valve Centre with a view to develop Piedmont Atlanta as the destination for patients with heart valve problems.

It will also enable physicians to gain knowledge on the latest trends in treatment for these complex patients and increase access to care.

The Marcus Heart and Vascular Center will provide an improved patient support and navigation services coupled with the expansion of Piedmont’s ability to participate in cardiovascular research studies and share the work with other national experts related to cardiovascular care.
