Long-time supporters of Montgomery Hospital, Nick and Athena Karabots now join with Einstein to impact community health and wellness. Family and community. For Nick and Athena Karabots, the two are equally important and forever intertwined. Together, Nick and Athena have made it their life work to not only raise and care for their own family, but also to extend their arms and embrace communities and individuals in need of support as if they were their own.

Through the Karabots Foundation, Nick and Athena have worked tirelessly to assist institutions whose programs serve both the young and elderly in disadvantaged communities throughout the greater Philadelphia region and across the United States. As long-time residents of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, the Karabots have always taken a keen interest in Norristown and its surrounding communities. That interest, and the desire to ensure easily accessible healthcare services are available in the heart of the community, is cornerstone to a new partnership between the Karabots and Einstein Healthcare Network. “The Karabots and Einstein share a vision for the future of Norristown,” explains Barry R. Freedman, President and CEO of Einstein Healthcare Network. “We are very fortunate to work with them to enhance and expand healthcare services in Norristown and its surrounding communities for any and all in need.” Through a generous gift of $7.5 million from the Karabots Foundation, Einstein will renovate and upgrade what was previously known as the Physician Office Building at 1330 Powell Street. Now to be known as the Nicholas and Athena Karabots Medical Building, this building has long been the heart of outpatient medical services in Norristown and serves as an integral part of Einstein’s plans to improve primary care access for residents of central Montgomery County. “Nick and Athena are donors who seek to empower communities and individuals,” observes Einstein Medical Center Montgomery’s Chief Operating Officer, Beth Duffy. “This building is more than just about providing care. It will serve as the base for Einstein’s community healthcare outreach, education and prevention services. Here, residents will be given the tools they need to make informed decisions about their own healthcare needs and the needs of their families.” Additionally, the Diagnostic Testing Center at Einstein Montgomery will, given its significant tie to the Physician Office Building and the services provided at the Powell Street location, also bear the Karabots name. The Nicholas and Athena Karabots Diagnostic Center joins the already dedicated Karabots Center for Radiation Oncology located in the Minerva D. Braemer Medical Arts Building on the Einstein Montgomery campus. Donors commit to the organizations they support in many different ways by sharing time, talent or treasure. Nick and Athena do all three. With an attitude akin to “rolling up your sleeves,” they dive into funded projects working

collaboratively with institutions to develop a shared vision for a making difference. Whether providing mentoring, academic and social support to students by offering a head start on healthcare careers through the Karabots Junior Fellows Program at The College of Physicians, improving community access at the William Jeanes Memorial Library, or transforming science and technology education at The Franklin Institute, Nick and Athena have a passion for developing projects whose impact will be both immediate and long lasting. Growing up in the South Bronx in the 1940s, Nick became well acquainted with Lincoln Hospital and appreciated the support and care it offered the community. “Trust was hard-earned in the South Bronx in those days,” recalls Nick. “But the hospital was always a place where everyone was treated the same no matter what street you were from or your nationality. We looked to the hospital as a place of safety and sanctuary. I have not forgotten that and believe every community should have a place where care is unconditional.”

Nick and Athena Karabots join the Einstein family and community of Norristown to celebrate their transformative gift.

the care providers who will soon be able to expand services in the newly renovated building space. Healthcare services currently offered in the building continue to operate during the construction process. “We are tremendously grateful to Nick and Athena for choosing to partner with Einstein Healthcare Network,” says Einstein’s Barry Freedman. “Working together, we will be able to more fully live the Einstein Mission to provide exceptional healthcare for as many as we can reach.” ■

For Athena, the Karabots’ partnership with Einstein is about extending a helping hand. “We are all obligated to assist, encourage and inspire. Good health is essential if families and communities are to grow and flourish,” she states. “We are grateful to Einstein and their dedication to community health and very pleased to partner with them to help break down barriers that prevent people from seeking needed care.” For Nick and Athena, the work happening at the Nicholas and Athena Karabots Medical Building, both inside and out, is more than just a name change. Risa Vetri Ferman, Montgomery County District Attorney, celebrates with Nick and Athena Karabots.

“Both Nick and Athena have eagerly and actively participated in the planning of the building renovations which are designed to expand the services provided at the facility,” reports Beth. “Any entity can enhance a building. But strengthened by the Karabots’ commitment, this facility will transform healthcare in the community.” “This is not just a matter of taking care of people physically, but making sure that your facility matches the need,” insists Nick. “Einstein is developing a building that meets the needs of the community where they need to be met.” The Karabots Foundation announced its new multi-faceted partnership with Einstein on May 21, 2014.

healthcare REIMAGINED Improving accessibility to healthcare services for families in the Norristown community is the cornerstone of the renovation taking shape at the Nicholas and Athena Karabots Medical Building. Healthcare services continue to be offered during construction. When completed the improved aesthetics will offer a comforting, safe and professional setting that enhances and expands program offerings, including: • Montgomery Family Practice, a primary care practice accommodating after-hours and walk-in patients; • The Genuardi Family Foundation Maternal Health Center continuing to serve the needs of the newest generation of Norristown residents; • Einstein Montgomery Home Health and Hospice providing a comprehensive and seamless post-acute continuum of care; • Einstein medical and surgical practices; • Outpatient physical and occupational therapy, cardiac rehab and aquatic therapy staffed by MossRehab; • The Frank J. Tornetta School of Anesthesia; • Community outreach, education and prevention services. The renovation project is currently underway thanks to the generosity of the Karabots Foundation.

FAMILY

The Auxiliary of Einstein Healthcare Network unites to support maternity care Dancing is probably the last thing on any expectant mother’s mind when she is in labor. Yet soon, maternity patients who deliver at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia and Einstein Medical Center Montgomery will have hundreds of dancing feet to thank for a newly-renovated unit focusing not just on mom and baby, but the entire family as well. The Auxiliary of Einstein Healthcare Network’s 61st Annual Harvest Ball, held in November 2013, supported Einstein’s long tradition of advocating for women’s health. More than 650 Einstein family members and friends put on their dancing shoes and raised close to $1.25 million to expand and enhance Einstein Philadelphia’s maternity unit. 2013 Harvest Ball Honorees Maddy and Harvey Rovinsky Above: 2013 Harvest Ball guests dance the night away.

2,000 babies and we anticipate continued growth in the years to come. The addition of the seventh Labor/Delivery/ Recovery room at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery will continue to allow us to provide state-of-the-art maternity services to the residents of central Montgomery County.” Appropriate to the Harvest Ball theme of supporting maternal and child care, Einstein dedicated the night in honor of Auxiliary member Maddy Rovinsky and her husband, Harvey. They, along with their business, Bernie Robbins Jewelers, are long-time supporters of Einstein’s Mission to serve women and children.

expansion will enhance the ability of our medical team to provide personalized care to both mother and baby, providing a better experience for all our new families.” Soon, expectant mothers and their families will enjoy newly renovated, private rooms with a home-like setting accommodating babies “rooming-in” with mom for 23 hours a day. At Einstein Philadelphia, all 28 semi-private rooms are being converted to feature wood laminate floors, larger bathrooms, step-in showers, wall handles for support and recliner chairs that fold down to a single bed. The new rooms will provide a homier stay, more privacy for mothers and family members, and better opportunities for bedside diagnostic testing, breastfeeding practice and bonding with babies. “Each room will also feature a special area for the baby with dedicated exam lights to let pediatricians conduct evaluations so the mother and family members can be included in all aspects of care,” reports Dr. Jaspan. “We want babies to stay in the room as much as possible since studies have shown improved outcomes when it comes to follow-up care.” The initiative, which is expected to take up to a year to complete, not only features physical changes, but also enhancements adding to patient ease and comfort. These benefits include bedside diagnostic testing, improved communication with physicians and nurses, and, most importantly, the ability to room-in day and night. The Harvest Ball also supported enhancements at Einstein Montgomery, specifically adding a new labor and delivery room. Beth Duffy, Chief Operating Officer for Einstein Montgomery, explains how the Auxiliary has helped meet a specific need. “This year we will deliver 8

As parents and grandparents, Maddy and Harvey are passionate about Einstein’s commitment to moms and babies. As a member of Einstein’s Board of Overseers and co-chairperson of the Albert Einstein Society’s Innovative Program Allocation Committee, which grants seed money to Einstein physicians and employees who develop original, inventive ideas to improve healthcare delivery, Maddy has helped shape Einstein’s outreach for women and children. The renovations support Einstein’s Mission to serve those in need at a time when demand is expanding. Nearly 20 hospitals throughout the region have closed their maternity units over the past 15 years. This year, the network expects to deliver more than 5,000 babies in its maternity units at Einstein Philadelphia and Einstein Montgomery. “Without the generosity of the Auxiliary and funds raised from the Harvest Ball, we would not be able to meet the needs of the community,” notes Dr. Jaspan. “These funds are going to help us exceed expectations of new families by providing an outstanding patient care experience.” ■ Judy Faust, Director of Nursing, and David Jaspan, DO, Chairperson, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, discuss the maternity unit renovations at Einstein Philadelphia.

Inspired partnership brings healing respite to patients and families For Alice and Herbert Sachs, it is personal. It was their experience during the illness of a loved one which inspired their desire to collaborate with MossRehab at Elkins Park to construct The Alice and Herbert Sachs Therapeutic Conservatory for the benefit of patients and their families. Their dream has become a reality. Now, MossRehab has a dedicated space to grow its horticultural therapy program allowing more patients to meet their rehabilitation goals by combining therapy with gardening. The Conservatory also offers a beautiful, unexpected oasis for patients and their families. Alice and Herbert Sachs

...a beautiful, unexpected oasis for patients and their families. Inspiration for this project began when Alice and Herb were visiting his brother, Keith, while he was recovering from an illness at Rusk Rehab at NYU Langone Medical Center. During their many visits they spent time at Rusk’s therapeutic conservatory. “It was such a wonderful sanctuary and respite,” recalls Alice Sachs. “It was a place where patients and their families could remove themselves from the hospital setting and just relax.” 9

a place in the SUN continued

So struck by the importance of the conservatory in the ongoing healing process, the Sachs’ were determined to try and replicate the therapeutic and communal advantages to benefit patients in their own community. Once introduced to MossRehab, the Sachs’ immediately found a place where their vision was embraced. The collaborative relationship has resulted in the construction of an operational greenhouse and therapy center allowing patients and their families to share in new therapeutic activities contributing to an overall sense of well-being. 10

The Alice and Herbert Sachs Therpeutic Conservatory is designed as not only a place of respite, but a place for patients to participate in horticultural therapy. Here, Abby Jaroslow, HRT, Horticultural Therapist at MossRehab works with patient, Adil Bovtahli, in the Work space designated to accommodate therapy and treatment. Horticultural therapy allows patients to learn new skills or regain those that are lost. It helps improve memory, cognitive abilities, task initiation, language skills, and socialization. In physical rehabilitation, it can help strengthen muscles and improve coordination, balance, and endurance. The Grow area is a working greenhouse to support the therapy and activities of the The Sachs Conservatory and Show is a plant-filled respite space for patients and visitors.

“Alice and Herb presented us with a unique and wonderful opportunity to do something to enhance the patient care experience,” explains Ruth Lefton, Chief Operating Officer at MossRehab. “They have been the heart and soul of this project and we are grateful they chose us to help

make their dream a reality.” The high-tech conservatory has three distinct areas (Work, Grow, Show) combining to form a warm, yet functional, environment. Features of the conservatory include those found in modern, commercial greenhouses with many “green” components

including: a living wall; stones from the Wissahickon Creek; finished concrete; natural cedar trim; a calming water feature and day lighting. MossRehab recently hired a full-time horticultural therapist to implement programming within the Conservatory. Abby Jaroslow, HTR, Horticultural Therapist, is working to expand the horticultural therapy program, engage patients in the program and fully functionalize the Work and Grow spaces in the conservatory. Results of the patient participation will be displayed in the Show area. It is the vision of donors like the Sachs’ that helps inspire and enhance programming. Patients and families will benefit from their contribution for years to come. “Our experience put into perspective how important it is to make a difference in the lives of others when you have the opportunity,” says Herb Sachs. “We want to feel we have helped in the long-term. The partnership with MossRehab has allowed us to seize the moment and, we hope, have a positive impact on the patients, families and communities they serve.” ■

FUNCTION MossRehab’s All About Art exhibition celebrates strength, creativity and spirit Every day at MossRehab, medical professionals and therapists work to help patients find their inner strength to overcome challenges; to help make the seemingly impossible, possible. MossRehab’s All About Art exhibition, held this year April 24 through June 24, celebrates what can be accomplished when strength, creativity and spirit transcend physical limitations; when inspiration and art combine in the heart of the artist. The exhibition inspires with its beauty, creativity, and energy. The All About Art Patrons’ Preview Party held at MossRehab on Thursday, April 24, gathered 300 Einstein family and friends for an exhibition "sneak peek" as guests viewed and purchased artwork and met the talented artists. A special tribute to All About Art honoree and long-time MossRehab Board Member, Paul A. Tanker, was shared by Mr. Tanker's son, Mark.

continuing a family legacy of care and SUPPORT

Lacey and Aidan Berk are the fourth generation of Berk Family members to carry on the family tradition First impressions mean a lot in any business. At Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, it is the soaring Atrium Lobby that first impresses all those who come through the doors seeking care. The gateway to advanced and responsive care that is the trademark of Einstein, the beauty of the atrium and its overlooking balcony is representative of how Einstein worked to create a facility blending a long and distinguished history with high-quality, leading-edge medicine. It is representative of how Einstein worked to bring the very best to the residents of central Montgomery County. 12

Einstein has a rich history of multigenerational families who have contributed to its past success and continue to play a prominent role in its vision for the future. The Berk Family is no exception. Families, like the Berks, are the strong foundation on which Einstein has built its healthcare tradition. Steven Berk currently serves as Chairperson of the Board of Trustees for Einstein Healthcare Network, continuing his more than 40-year involvement with Einstein that began with Belmont Behavioral Health. Steve’s grandfather was one of the original founders of Belmont, and his parents, Gabriel and Phyllis, nurtured that commitment. Steve’s children, Lacey, 15 and Aidan, 13 are now the keepers of the family legacy and they are taking their responsibilities very seriously. Both spent a lot of time with Steve, on site, during construction of Einstein Montgomery. “We would spend many weekends driving out to the site to check on construction progress,” recalls Steve. “Both Lacey and Aidan would wear hard hats and walk the site with me. Watching the building rise from the ground up will forever be part of their childhood memories.” Aidan further demonstrated the Berk Family commitment by choosing to raise money in support of Einstein Montgomery’s Walk Through the Park as his Bar Mitzvah project. Walk Through the Park funds benefit the Cancer Program at Einstein Montgomery and Aidan worked to involve family and friends in this

Families, like the Berks, are the strong FOUNDATION on which Einstein has built... fundraising effort continuing the family tradition of giving support to others in need. “It was really a great experience working on the Walk Through the Park,” recalls Aidan. “It made me and my friends feel really good to know that we were raising money to support Einstein Montgomery and its patients.” All this involvement has led to a fitting tribute. Through Steve's generosity, the balcony on the first floor of Einstein Montgomery was recently named as the Berk Family Balcony in honor of both Lacey and Aidan. “The balcony is beautiful,” observes Lacey. “You can sit there and look out the windows at the beautiful scenery. It is calming and inspiring.” She goes on to explain, “I am so grateful to my dad for passing on such a wonderful family tradition. I hope to always be involved with Einstein. I can’t imagine a better way to give back to the community.” “Steve, Lacey and Aidan, are all part of our past, they have helped shape our present,” says Barry R. Freedman, President and CEO of Einstein Healthcare Network. “We know we can continue to count on their involvement, guidance and support as Einstein grows to meet the ever-changing healthcare needs of our communities.” ■

in 1996, more than just love and devotion united them. Janet and Andy came from families with long traditions of involvement with Einstein Healthcare Network. Both families wholeheartedly embraced the Einstein Mission of ensuring all have access to quality healthcare provided by highly trained medical professionals regardless of circumstances; a mission supported by Janet and Andy, together, until his death in 2013.

As the son of Dr. Israel Boris “I.B.” Bender, former Chairman of the Department of Dentistry for Einstein, and an internationally known endodontist considered the “father of root canals,” Andy grew up immersed in the Einstein family and witnessed, first-hand, his father’s contributions of healing and giving. “When Andy’s grandparents came to America from Ukraine, they said ‘Our first son will be a doctor, and our second son will be a dentist,’” recalls Janet. “And that’s exactly what happened! I.B.’s older brother, Morris, became a neurologist at Mt. Sinai in New York and I.B. became a dentist. The family tradition of healing continued when Andy and three of his cousins also went into neurology.”

Einstein is FORTUNATE to have many families, like the Benders, who OFFER THEIR SUPPORT in multiple ways. Einstein is fortunate to have many families, like the Benders, who offer their support in multiple ways. For Andy Bender, a gift of planned giving allowed him to leave a lasting legacy and sustain the work his father began more than 70 years ago. For Andy, the Bender family connection to Einstein was forged at a young age when his father interned at Jewish Hospital in 1942 and was later appointed head of Einstein’s dentistry department in the mid-1950s. The founder of the American Association of Endodontists, I.B. taught generations of dental students, authored textbooks, conducted research, developed groundbreaking treatments and maintained a private practice for more than a half century. A recent textbook dedication reads: “His inspiring passion for knowledge and excellence set the standards for the legions of students who will always remain indebted to him for role modeling what a teacher and healer does for others.”1 Andy took those teachings to heart throughout his career as a neuro-oncologist, treating people with secondary (metastatic) cancers even as he struggled with his own health challenges, which included living with Type 1 diabetes for most of his adult life. He lent his expertise to Einstein medical staff members, treating neurological concerns and consulting with them regularly. 1Cohen, Stephen, Cohen’s Pathways of the Pulp 10th Edition, (Mosby: 2010)

“Andy was dedicated to carrying on his family’s reputation for healing and teaching,” recalls Janet. “It motivated him throughout his lifetime.” Today, the I. B. Bender Endodontic Clinic at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia is one of the nation’s most technologically advanced endodontic centers, serving 1,000 patients annually and giving graduate residents real-world clinical experience overseen by skilled attending faculty members. In honor of his father’s memory and to help sustain the pioneering work he is remembered for, Andy chose to make a bequest of $100,000 to the I.B. Bender Endodontic Fund. “Andy and I shared the belief that it is important to follow tzedakah,” notes Janet, referring to the Jewish principle of justice through giving. “You give, and you get it back in different ways. You have to help people who can’t pay for services on their own, and we also need to support research and training for doctors.” Andy Bender’s gift to Einstein continues the tradition of care espoused by both he and his father. Through Andy’s foresight and generosity, the Bender legacy will continue to impact generations of caregivers and patients. ■ For more information about a gift of planned giving please contact Mary Shaffer at 215-456-7236 or shafferm@einstein.edu.

behind the scenes, but in the FOREFRONT The Auxiliary of Einstein Healthcare Network works to impact patients and providers alike By its very definition “auxiliary” means to offer or provide help. Since 1952, The Auxiliary of Einstein Healthcare Network has been touching the lives of Einstein patients, physicians and staff.

Above: Members of The Auxiliary of Einstein Healthcare Network shine at the 2013 Harvest Ball.

Throughout its 62-year history, the Auxiliary has raised funds to make possible patient-care area renovations, capital purchases such as medical equipment and program innovations. In addition, Auxiliary members host several patient and provider events designed to support the efforts of the network staff and bring comfort to patients. They also host community education projects, specifically geared towards women’s health, to help empower women and give them the tools they need to take control of their own health.

Dedicated to community, philanthropy, service and advocacy the Auxiliary unites to host several events throughout the year reaching across the entire network. “The Auxiliary of Einstein Healthcare Network is a collaborative group of volunteers working together on behalf of all the entities within the network,” explains Linda Bloom, Auxiliary Co-President. “Events like the Harvest Ball bring us together to raise money for a project that will impact the greatest number of patients.” Within the Auxiliary are four “arms” dedicated to a specific entity or education effort. Friends of Belmont, Friends of Einstein Montgomery, and Friends of MossRehab have a specific facility focus. As Linda Levitt, also Auxiliary Co-President, reports, “These groups run programs throughout the year that specifically benefit these facilities and then join with the larger group to host projects that have a network-wide focus.” Many network projects center around service to the community.

Since 1952, The Auxiliary of Einstein Healthcare Network has been TOUCHING THE LIVES of Einstein patients, physicians and staff. The Breast Cancer Action Group is committed to raising breast health awareness and improving outreach. They also raise funds to support breast cancer awareness initiatives and treatment. Every year the group hosts a community breast health symposium featuring physicians and guest speakers who provide vital information about breast cancer awareness. This symposium also serves as a fundraiser to help underinsured and uninsured women receive the assistance they need to battle against breast cancer.

For almost 100 years, six white marble columns graced the entrance of Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia. A gift from the Mint Realty Company in 1904, the columns were erected on either side of the hospital’s main entrance to enhance the park-like grounds. They remained there until 2000, when they were de-installed and placed in storage. Through the Auxiliary's extraordinary efforts, the columns returned in 2013.

As Einstein Healthcare Network expands regionally the Auxiliary is looking to grow its membership. “It is essential we maintain our legacy of supporting projects to keep Einstein on the forefront of medicine,” says Linda Levitt. “Patient need only continues to grow and the Auxiliary wants to be sure we are properly positioned to meet that need.” Whether reading to children in the pediatric clinics, volunteering in the women’s centers, planning educational programs or fundraising events, the Auxilians can be found making a positive and lasting impact. From operating the gift shop at Einstein Philadelphia to supporting health and wellness education in the schools or planning the Harvest Ball, Auxiliary members are very involved and invaluable members of the Einstein team. Annually, their contributions are measured in hundreds of hours and millions of dollars.

Annually, their contributions are measured in HUNDREDS OF HOURS and MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Whether your passion is fundraising or volunteerism, there are many ways to get involved in the efforts of the Auxiliary. Community members, grateful patients, Einstein staff, physicians and their families are all encouraged to become part of the Auxiliary’s efforts to support Einstein Healthcare Network. Through new member events, either social or informational, the Auxiliary welcomes new participants who share their passion for helping to make a positive impact on the community. “There is no better way to make a lasting impression on your community than by supporting your local community hospital,” advises Linda Bloom. “Auxiliary membership is one of the best ways to be a part of something that is working towards the betterment of the community and impacting the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of people every year.” ■

service above SELF Albert Einstein Society honors two who have given so much Every day across Einstein Healthcare Network, physicians, nurses, staff and volunteers go above and beyond to ensure the best care experience for our patients. This year, the Albert Einstein Society awarded 16 grants to 39 individuals who exemplify this dedication to improving patient care. The Albert Einstein Society began more than 40 years ago as a way to raise internal funds to support new ideas for care. Today, the Albert Einstein Society encourages clinicians and non-clinicians alike to find new and bold solutions to todayâ€™s greatest healthcare challenges by funding grants supporting research and innovative programming. This yearâ€™s campaign raised $650,000. Annually, the Albert Einstein Society also selects two individuals to honor at the annual fundraising dinner who consistently demonstrate these qualities, either in direct patient care or working to ensure the long-term strength and viability of Einstein Healthcare Network and its Mission. Selected based on a series of fitting criteria that accompany each award, Community Honoree or Physician Leadership Award, one common factor uniting both recipients is their commitment to service.

service above SELF continued Richard Braemer, this year’s Community Honoree, has grown up with Einstein. Following in the footsteps of his parents, Fred and Minerva Braemer, Richard donates his time and talent in support of the Einstein Mission. He joined the Board of Albert Einstein Medical Center in 1978 and since that time he has served Einstein in various leadership roles, including Chairperson of Mt. Sinai-Daroff Division; the Governance Committee; Healthcare Services Board; and Chairperson of Einstein Healthcare Network’s Board of Trustees. Currently, he serves as Chairperson of the Compensation Committee. Contributing his business expertise has been invaluable, especially as he had helped to lead Einstein through some of the most tumultuous times in the healthcare industry. Richard’s guidance and business acumen has supported the network as it builds a regional presence. This continued growth positions the network for future success and viability.

Both Richard and Doug have a LONG TRADITION of SUPPORTING the Albert Einstein Society. This year’s Physician Leadership Award honoree is Douglas McGee, DO. Doug has spent his entire career with Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia. Since his earliest days as an emergency medicine resident, Doug was drawn to the Mission of service that is the foundation for Einstein’s care delivery philosophy. Driven by his desire to serve, Doug goes above and beyond expectations to provide the best care possible for his patients. In his role as Chief Academic Officer for the network, he works to ensure the students he directs are well-instructed in the mechanics of medicine and the philosophy of compassionate service. Selected by his peers as recipient of this award, Doug’s reputation is not limited to Einstein. As a physician and teacher, he is highly respected throughout the region and nationally. His passion for emergency medicine has led to leadership roles in many local, state and national organizations. Doug’s commitment to education is well-known and he currently sits on the Emergency Medicine Residency Review Committee for the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. He is also author of numerous publications and textbook chapters and is a nationally recognized lecturer on graduate medical education, trauma and medical decision making. Both Richard and Doug have a long tradition of supporting the Albert Einstein Society. In fact, Doug is a former recipient of an Albert Einstein Society grant.

EINSTEIN

Genius ideas cultivated by the Albert Einstein Society The Albert Einstein Society funds bold and creative solutions to today’s healthcare challenges. For more than 40 years, Einstein physicians, nurses, clinical and non-clinical staff members have sought grants from the Society to fund great ideas they have to improve patient care through programs or research. This year, a new campaign, “I am Einstein,” was developed to raise awareness throughout the network. Featuring physicians and employees who give to and receive grants from the Society, the campaign helped raise $653,000 from board members, physicians, employees and community members to support Albert Einstein Society grants for research and innovative programs.

the Last WORD For many, the thought of change can cause fear and apprehension. For Einstein, the need to change has always been a catalyst to try new and innovative ideas. Healthcare is changing, there is no doubt. And in order to respond to this change, Einstein Healthcare Network is working to best position itself in the ever-shifting environment. What will distinguish Einstein from other regional healthcare systems is its ability to balance these changes with its historic commitment to its Mission. From introducing leading-edge technologies to implementing new paradigms of care, Einstein is not just changing; it is redefining the healthcare landscape.

Wayne Kimmel, Esq.

This is what our $150 million fundraising effort, The Einstein Campaign, is all about. Through generous, visionary gifts like that of Nicholas and Athena Karabots, The Einstein Campaign is building a firm foundation to empower our Board, administration, physicians and staff to continue Einsteinâ€™s tradition of innovative problem-solving. Your support of The Einstein Campaign does not allow us to merely inch forward. Instead, it propels Einstein to transform healthcare delivery for the betterment of all we serve. Sincerely,
