== Philanthropy == Greatbatch donated funds to [[Houghton College]] in New York to create a graduate program in music. The Houghton College Center for the Arts (CFA) was designed with his donations to include a concert hall, art gallery, multi-floor gathering space, and various choir and instrumental practice rooms. It was subsequently named the Greatbatch School of Music after him. Houghton College assisted Greatbatch in his research, when he was unable to generate support, providing him with lab space and research assistance.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://theaquilareport.com/wilson-greatbatch-presbyterian-elder-and-pacemaker-inventor-dies/|title = Wilson Greatbatch, Presbyterian Elder and Pacemaker Inventor, Dies|date = October 2011}}</ref> In 2009, Wilson and Eleanor Greatbatch donated approximately $10 million to create a modern glass reception and interpretive pavilion, called the ''Eleanor and Wilson Greatbatch Pavilion'', separate from the [[Darwin D.
