$2 million gift given to hospital

A Severna Park man donated more than $2 million of his estate to the Baltimore Washington Medical Center, the largest estate gift the center has ever received, the hospital announced yesterday.

Millard H. Wilson Jr., a longtime Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. repairman, died of cancer last year. Wilson, 69, left the medical center three homes located on several acres of waterfront property in Cypress Creek and a boat. He had received treatment at the medical center, which is in the midst of a $117 million building project that includes a new patient tower.

The hospital will name a new critical care unit in his honor.
