A publication for <strong>the</strong> friends of Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong> Foundation serving Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong>, The Eddy, Albany Memorial Hospital, and Samaritan Hospital. Fall 2000<br />
A <strong>Message</strong> <strong>From</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>President</strong><br />
Thank you,<br />
wonderful<br />
contributors to<br />
Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong><br />
and its affiliates.<br />
You are truly<br />
making a difference<br />
at The Eddy,<br />
Albany Memorial<br />
and Samaritan hospitals.<br />
Through <strong>the</strong> generosity of<br />
members of our community, we<br />
have been able to add nearly<br />
$19,000 to <strong>the</strong> Richard C. Rockwell<br />
Endowment Fund, which provides<br />
financial assistance to individuals<br />
who are cared for at <strong>the</strong> Marjorie<br />
Doyle Rockwell Center and <strong>the</strong><br />
MDRC DayBreak program. The<br />
alumni of Samaritan Hospital<br />
School of Nursing responded<br />
positively to our appeal for support<br />
of a Loan Forgiveness Program to<br />
help recruit new students into <strong>the</strong><br />
school. These are just two of <strong>the</strong><br />
many wonderful examples of <strong>the</strong><br />
generosity of o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
We plan to increase our educational<br />
efforts on <strong>the</strong> benefits of<br />
planned giving. There are many<br />
easy ways for donors to receive tax<br />
benefits and/or income and make<br />
a contribution to <strong>the</strong>ir favorite<br />
charity. Jim Prout’s article on<br />
gift annuities in this issue shows<br />
some of <strong>the</strong> benefits to both donors<br />
and organizations.<br />
People often ask me how <strong>the</strong>y<br />
can help. The Foundation’s current<br />
fund-raising priorities are directed<br />
towards support for patient monitoring<br />
equipment for both Albany<br />
Memorial and Samaritan hospitals<br />
(see article) and expanding our<br />
Alzheimer’s services. If you or<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs you know would be interested<br />
in helping with <strong>the</strong>se important<br />
projects, please contact Deb<br />
Balliet at 274-0190.<br />
We value your continued interest.<br />
Thank you again for your support<br />
of Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong> programs<br />
and projects. I am convinced that we<br />
really are Caring for Generations.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Richard P. Wallace, Esq.<br />
<strong>Artforms</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong> & Framery Donation<br />
Benefits <strong>the</strong> Family Birth Center<br />
Jan and Gary Weitzman, owners<br />
of <strong>Artforms</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong> & Framery,<br />
generously donated eight beautifully<br />
framed impressionist prints to<br />
<strong>the</strong> Family Birth Center at Samaritan<br />
Hospital. The prints are located<br />
in <strong>the</strong> patient rooms at <strong>the</strong> Family<br />
Birth Center and add to its warm,<br />
homelike atmosphere. And... <strong>the</strong><br />
positive response from patients has<br />
been tremendous.<br />
Jan and Gary opened <strong>Artforms</strong><br />
<strong>Gallery</strong> & Framery in October<br />
1997, at 5 New Karner Road in<br />
Guilderland. The Weitzmans<br />
have worked with Nor<strong>the</strong>ast<br />
<strong>Health</strong> to provide prints for<br />
Samaritan Hospital and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong> affiliates.<br />
Their unique gallery offers a<br />
fascinating, eclectic display of<br />
paintings, drawings, ceramic<br />
works, glass pieces and a<br />
variety of o<strong>the</strong>r artwork.<br />
The prints can be seen on our website at<br />

Memories Are Made of This<br />
The Marjorie Doyle Rockwell<br />

was an enormous success,<br />
raising $18,846 for <strong>the</strong> center’s<br />
Richard C. Rockwell Endowment<br />
Fund. The fund provides financial<br />
assistance to individuals with<br />
depleted resources who are using<br />
<strong>the</strong> residential or day services at<br />
<strong>the</strong> center. The event was held on<br />
Thursday, September 14, at <strong>the</strong><br />
Pruyn House in Newtonville.<br />
We would like to extend our<br />
gratitude to our many generous<br />
sponsors, including our corporate<br />

Family members were among<br />
those attending <strong>the</strong> first annual Harry<br />
and Helen Jasper Memorial Lecture<br />
held in <strong>the</strong> Conklin Conference Room<br />
at Albany Memorial Hospital on<br />
October 19. The program, which<br />
focused on fibromyalgia, was made<br />
possible by a generous endowment<br />
established by friends and family<br />
members to honor <strong>the</strong><br />
memory of Dr. Harry<br />
Jasper and his wife<br />
Helen. The endowment<br />
will fund<br />
annual lectures<br />
focusing on family<br />
and internal medicine<br />
topics.<br />

Gift Annuity is a Win-Win Situation:<br />
Donor and Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong> Both Benefit<br />
By James Prout, Esq., NEHF treasurer<br />
Nor<strong>the</strong>ast<br />
<strong>Health</strong> Foundation<br />
offers many methods<br />
for giving<br />
which can provide<br />
life income to <strong>the</strong><br />
donor and a<br />
substantial gift<br />
to a program or<br />
facility of Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong>. The<br />
charitable gift annuity is one of <strong>the</strong><br />
simplest income-producing gifts<br />
you can make.<br />
How does a charitable gift<br />
annuity work, you ask? The donor<br />
signs an annuity contract with<br />
Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong> Foundation,<br />
stating <strong>the</strong> size of <strong>the</strong> initial gift<br />
and <strong>the</strong> percentage for <strong>the</strong> annual<br />
payments. The donor <strong>the</strong>n transfers<br />
<strong>the</strong> assets (cash or stock) in <strong>the</strong><br />
amount of this initial gift.<br />
Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong> Foundation<br />
<strong>the</strong>n pays <strong>the</strong> donor a fixed percent-<br />
age amount, annually, throughout his<br />
or her lifetime. Upon <strong>the</strong> completion<br />
of <strong>the</strong> annuity, <strong>the</strong> balance remaining<br />
is paid over to Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong> to be<br />
used for one of its programs or<br />
facilities as <strong>the</strong> donor stipulated at<br />
<strong>the</strong> time of <strong>the</strong> agreement.<br />
Recently, a donor to Nor<strong>the</strong>ast<br />
<strong>Health</strong> established a gift annuity<br />
with $90,000 and received annuity<br />
payments throughout his life. Upon<br />
<strong>the</strong> completion of <strong>the</strong> annuity, a gift<br />
was made honoring his wife to<br />
support Albany Memorial Hospital.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r annuity donor has designated<br />
<strong>the</strong> remainder from his<br />
annuity to benefit <strong>the</strong> Cancer<br />
Treatment Center at Samaritan<br />
Hospital. These gifts are win-win<br />
situations for both <strong>the</strong> affiliates of<br />
Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong> and <strong>the</strong> donors.<br />
The tax advantages of this type<br />
of planned gift are as follows:<br />
• An income tax deduction is<br />
allowed, based on actuarial<br />
tables, in <strong>the</strong> year <strong>the</strong> annuity<br />
is established.<br />
• The donor receives an annuity<br />
payment for life, based upon <strong>the</strong><br />
value of <strong>the</strong> initial gift and <strong>the</strong><br />
percentage chosen.<br />
• The annuity payments are guaranteed<br />
obligations of Nor<strong>the</strong>ast<br />
<strong>Health</strong> Foundation and are not<br />
subject to change or termination<br />
during <strong>the</strong> donor’s lifetime.<br />
• At <strong>the</strong> completion of <strong>the</strong> annuity<br />
contract, Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Health</strong><br />
Foundation is provided with<br />
a generous gift.<br />
