Our Promise to
Community Contributions
Charity Care and Other Uncompensated Care
Big-City Medicine – Hometown Care. That is our
promise to our region, our promise to the more than
250,000 people – our friends and neighbors – who pass
through the doors of 100 Park Street or one of our 28
regional locations each year.
It is a promise we will never forget.
For more than 110 years, Glens Falls Hospital has been the
health care safety net for 3,300 square miles. Saratoga,
Warren, Washington, Hamilton and Essex Counties – and
since 2003 Northern Rensselaer County – all rely on the
only hospital Emergency Room in the Capital Region that
never goes on diversion; our promise is that we are always
here for you.
We promise access to the latest cancer care treatments,
clinical trials, family and patient support programs – in
fact, the complete continuum of cancer care – for the
more than 1,000 people who will be newly diagnosed
with cancer this year.
Big-City Medicine means patient specific instrumentation
– state-of-the-art prostheses for those who need a
knee replacement. It means a $1.5 million investment
in the newest surgical instrumentation thanks to the Wood Foundation Challenge of 2009. Angioplasty,
neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, and the return of advanced imaging services to Washington County; all are
part of our promise.
Hometown Care is our promise of school based health in the Whitehall Central School District and the
Hadley-Luzerne Central School District – where 97% of the students are enrolled in this primary care
program. It is Girls on the Run and Girls on Track, where parents and young women run together and learn a
healthy active lifestyle. It is the safer walk ways and bikeways established by the Healthy Heart Program, and
our commitment to exceptional customer service no matter which Glens Falls Hospital location you may visit.
Just as important to us – because Big-City Medicine cannot happen without your support – within these
pages you’ll find the names of those who contributed so generously to our institution in 2009. Thank you
from all of us at Glens Falls Hospital. Your gifts provide a margin of excellence and we are ever grateful for that.
I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read through these pages to learn about the largest primary care network
in the region, the region’s most comprehensive acute care hospital, the only accredited cancer center, and
the largest offering of community health services between Albany and Montreal – all of this and more are
Glens Falls Hospital today. It is who we are because, after all, more than 110 years ago we made a promise
that we will never forget.
