His gratitude led him to our SEMI Philanthropy team who helped facilitate this gift in a way that was most meaningful to him, including acknowledging the outstanding care provided to Carole by Manak Sood, MD, cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, and providing resources to extend services of the cardiac rehab program to even more patients hoping to take control of their cardiovascular health. Members of the Sweet family joined the cardiac rehab team for a dedication ceremony in the unit held in December 2024.
