Suzann's Message  
Dear Friends of Ellis,
Thank you for your continued generosity. Ellis Hospital is privileged to have your ongoing support.

For generations, our community has understood the crucial importance of having high quality health care available right here in Schenectady and has responded to Ellis’ needs in great numbers. This critical partnership might best be described as transformational, as the donor and the hospital are both fundamentally changed as a direct result of philanthropy. In fact, on a recent tour of the hospital, one longtime donor was pleasantly surprised to realize, “I really
do make a difference!” Yes, you can see your dollars at work at Ellis. Your generosity truly sustains the heartbeat of health care in our community!

 
As you know, health care is a very competitive industry, especially for not-for-profit hospitals like Ellis. Faced with a multitude of financial hurdles, the hospital must rely on charitable giving for a significant portion of its annual capital budget.

Thanks to your contributions in 2006, Ellis Hospital was able to upgrade and expand the Anna Bennett Cardiac Catheterization Suite and to purchase a new 64-slice CT scanner, which is now in use. In 2007, the Ellis Hospital Foundation is celebrating its 25th year as the fund raising arm of the hospital. We’re planning to raise $2.3 million in support of surgical services, the Wright Heart Center and the Bruggeman Center‘s medical imaging department as part of our Quarter Century of Caring campaign.

Thanks again for standing with Ellis to ensure that the hospital remains on the cutting edge of technology, at the forefront of medical treatment and at the heart of expert and personal care.
