A deep-rooted philanthropic spirit resulted in the establishment of Ellis Hospital in Schenectady 120 years ago. Today, that spirit is kept alive by the patients, their families and friends who continue to make Ellis Hospital their charity of choice by contributing generously to the Ellis Hospital Foundation.

As a not-for-profit hospital, Ellis must rely on outside financial support to expand services, upgrade facilities and acquire the medical equipment necessary to provide the very best health care. Since its inception in 1885, when the collective vision of area residents created a hospital, Ellis has depended on the generosity of the community to succeed and grow. Recently, we have faced enormous challenges as health care throughout the country has undergone a difficult and continuing evolution in terms of how to provide the best available treatment and remain financially stable. Through extraordinary efforts on the part of every employee in the institution and the sheer determination from many in this community having decided that superior health care is a priority, Ellis is seeing a level of support unprecedented in the history of the hospital.
