Dr. Raymond Singer, a 1976 graduate of Cheltenham High School and the Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital, recently donated $100,000 to the institution.

According to a statement by the Jefferson Office of Institutional Advancement, the gift is dedicated to the establishment of an innovative conference room, equipped with advanced technology to support the cardiac surgical team and enable global interaction, allowing teams to review detailed 3D images and utilize AI to enhance patient care.

“Our teams will be able to interact with TJUH as easily as with a team located in Paris,” Dr. Singer said.

Dr. Singer was recently hired as Clinical Professor of Surgery at Sidney Kimmel Medical College after serving 27 years at Lehigh Valley Hospital.

“I’m just excited to be back home, and now that I’m a part of Jefferson, talk about coming full circle!” he said. “I’ve always thought of leadership as encompassing four main things: having emotional intelligence, communication skills, team-building skills, and, most of all, creating a positive work culture.”

“On behalf of Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital, we extend deep gratitude to Dr. Singer for this generous gift to the EMCM Cardiology Fund,” the statement said. “His contribution sets an important example and demonstrates the importance of physician philanthropy at the hospital. This gift will enhance the standards of care, deliver a world-class patient experience, and invest in key priorities, including acquiring advanced minimally invasive robotic equipment like the da Vinci surgical system, upgrading and expanding clinical facilities, and recruiting experts in key roles.”
