Giving to the Ellis Medicine Foundation

You Can Make a Difference!

There are many different ways to support the critical services and programs at Ellis Hospital through a gift to the Ellis Hospital Foundation.

• Unrestricted gifts support the most compelling needs of the hospital including program services, purchases of equipment, facility upgrades and expansion opportunities in the year the gift was given.
• Ellis Hospital Foundation holds restricted funds, usually on a temporary basis, to meet a specific purpose identified by the donor(s).
• Endowed funds allow donors to support a specific service (e.g. cancer, diabetes, cardiac, etc.) for perpetuity. Donors are assured that the principal will remain intact, with the income distributed as designated. Endowed funds start at $50,000.

Thank You for Caring Campaign

While Ellis Hospital is proud to receive awards and national recognition for clinical excellence and quality of care, we know that the talented team of health care experts who serve our patients drives these achievements. Ellis' physicians, nurses and other caregivers are the ones who make a tangible difference in peoples' lives by helping to make them better and, in many instances, saving their lives.

The Thank You for Caring Campaign is a way to honor of the caregivers and recognize the people who have provided you and/or your family with exceptional care.

On your behalf, the Foundation will notify the honoree(s) of your thoughtful gesture. All gifts of will be recognized in one of the Foundation's publications, and gifts of $10,000 or more will be commemorated on a special plaque prominently displayed in the hospital's main hallway.

Take advantage of this unique way to thank an outstanding doctor or caregiver while also supporting the lifesaving work provided at Ellis Hospital. For more information about the Thank You for Caring Campaign, contact Beth Schroeder at 518.243.4600.

Longtime donor and friend of Ellis Hospital Dorothea F. Godfrey made the inaugural gift to the campaign in recognition of her primary care physician, Robert J. Donohue, M.D.
