$38 million gift launches Marcus Institute for Brain Health at CU Anschutz

The Marcus Institute for Brain Health (MIBH) opens this summer in the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center. The one-of-a-kind institute will be the cornerstone of a planned national network devoted to innovative and intensive treatment of military veterans who served our nation and now suffer the invisible wounds of war.

The MIBH was announced Friday by CU Anschutz leaders and Bernard Marcus, whose Atlanta-based philanthropic organization has steadfastly supported the health and well-being of military veterans. The luncheon celebration drew more than 100 attendees, including leaders from CU Anschutz’s hospital partners as well as CU President Bruce Benson, CU First Lady Marcy Benson and U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman.
