On Nov. 30, 2010, Jane and Lee Seidman have donated $42 million to University Hospitals (UH) – the largest gift in the Cleveland-based health system’s history.

The new hospital was named the University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center. In addition, the health system’s integrated network of nine outpatient cancer programs throughout the region were called University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center.

Lee Seidman founded The Motorcars Group in 1958 and led the company to become one of the nation’s largest networks of auto dealerships. In 2008, they donated $1 million to UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital, establishing the Jane and Lee Seidman Chair in Pediatric Cancer Innovation.
