Philanthropists Mary and Richard Compton were behind the gift, the largest single donation in the five-hospital system’s history. The donation builds on a previous $15 million gift from the family.

The new center is to be named the Compton Center for Medical Excellence and Innovation.

“This unprecedented gift will inspire ground-breaking new ideas and strategies to continue life-saving advances in research and the compassionate care Cottage is dedicated to delivering,” Steven Zola, chair of the Cottage board of directors, said in a statement.
