Sunita and Brij Agarwal, an Indian-American couple, made a record $5.5 million donation to St. Luke's Health–Sugar Land Hospital in Texas.

Despite the historic contribution, Sunita Agarwal expressed discomfort with the publicity, saying, 'We don't advertise' and 'we don't like to discuss it.'

The donation is the largest ever received by the hospital, though the couple prefers to remain out of the spotlight.
