Despite this, he lived to be 87, attributing his longevity to collaborative efforts with his cardiologist Dr. Jerry Ruskin.He returned from all those bypasses serious about recovery, Randall recalls. He understood the importance of exercise and proper nutrition, and committed to it. Leonard was equally dedicated to the wellness of his fellow community members, a passion he shared with Ruskin. Together, they established a cardiac rehab program at the YMCA, which later moved to Cone Health and is now recognized as the Leonard J. Kaplan Center for Heart, Vascular and Lung Health.Leonards tenacity and discipline not only helped manage his heart condition but also led to his becoming a successful businessman and philanthropic leader.
