A $30 million gift from the Bailey-Haslam family will establish the Haslam Family Section for Cardiovascular Genetics, as well as support other cardiovascular research.CLEVELAND, Ohio — A $30 million gift from the Bailey-Haslam family to the Cleveland Clinic will help provide genetic testing for patients, promote cardiovascular genetics research and establish an endowed chair in cardiovascular medicine, the Clinic announced Monday.
The gift is deeply personal for the Bailey-Haslam family, whose members have suffered cardiovascular disease, the Clinic said. Family members include Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam, and Jimmy’s sister, Ann Haslam-Bailey. Portions of the gift will expand cardiovascular genetics research by establishing the Haslam Family Section for Cardiovascular Genetics at the Sydell and Arnold Miller Heart, Vascular and Thoracic Institute, and establish the Haslam Family Endowed Chair in Cardiovascular Medicine, the Clinic said. The funds will also help provide genetic testing for family members of any Clinic patient with an inherited heart condition. Cardiovascular genetics focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders affecting the cardiovascular system. This includes inherited conditions such as arrhythmias, disease of the heart muscle, heart failure and vascular disease. Genetic testing for patients with inherited heart conditions allows for early detection and intervention and allows physicians to create a personalized care path for patients, the Clinic said. Caregivers with the newly established Haslam Family Section for Cardiovascular Genetics will use patients’ genetic data to help discover new genetic markers for cardiovascular diseases and accelerate research, the health system said. “While heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, it’s essential our research expands to better understand those who may be at risk, guide treatments and develop new therapies,” Clinic CEO Dr. Tom Mihaljevic said in a news release. “We are grateful to the Bailey-Haslam family for their generous support that is helping push this vital patient care and research forward.” The donations have been given by Natalie and Jim Haslam; Dee and Jimmy Haslam; Crissy and Bill Haslam; and Ann Haslam-Bailey and her husband Steve Bailey. The family first donated to the Clinic in 2014.
