“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your
balance, you must keep moving.”
– Albert Einstein
Dear Friends,
Einstein Healthcare Network recently completed an incredible journey to
commemorate our 150th anniversary. Throughout 2016, we celebrated
Einstein’s legacy of sharing compassionate care as well as the network’s
many historic achievements in medicine.
Last June, we announced the completion of The Einstein Campaign, our
$150 million fundraising effort. Nothing could have prepared us for the
ultimate success of raising $167 million! It was a great way to celebrate the
midpoint of our anniversary.
As we concluded this tremendous milestone year, we were once again
reminded of the endearing quote above by Albert Einstein. It seems to be a
metaphor for all Einstein has been, is and will be – an organization, fueled
by its Mission, in a constant state of evolution to provide the best, mostneeded
solutions to the day’s largest healthcare problems.
We want to thank you for making Einstein’s 150th year so special. Whether
you are a long-time “Einstein family member” or a new friend, we are
grateful for your partnership. You are helping Einstein to “keep moving.”
Sincerely,

Donors Heal Lives and
Strengthen Communities
through Historic Giving
Together, donors from across Einstein Healthcare Network,
community friends, civic partners, and family legacies recently invested more than
$167 million to support The Einstein Campaign.
Launched in 2010, The Einstein Campaign was an all-encompassing fundraising
effort. After early success and positive response, the original campaign goal of $100
million was increased in September 2013. It was then increased a second time to
$150 million by June 30, 2016, a date chosen to coincide with the 150th anniversary
of Einstein’s founding.
In actuality, Einstein achieved its second goal five months early. Barry Freedman,
President and CEO of Einstein Healthcare Network, shared the announcement with a

crowd of 1,200 during Einstein’s 150th anniversary opening
celebration on January 14, 2016 at the National Constitution
Center in Philadelphia.
“The level of support we’ve received for The Einstein
Campaign has been tremendous,” he stated that evening.
“What’s especially impressive is who it has come from –
long-time supporters of Einstein, first-time donors to our
organization, our own dedicated employees and physicians,
corporations and government – all visionaries who want to
invest in Einstein and be part of our exciting future.”
This historic effort, which was the largest fundraising
undertaking in the organization’s history, deepened Einstein’s
ability to broaden its reach and extend its Mission. Through
the Campaign, Einstein secured new resources devoted to
key areas of Einstein expertise, including innovations in patient
care, expanded teaching and research opportunities and
enhanced community outreach and programming.
During a celebration officially closing The Einstein Campaign,
Freedman stated, “Initiatives like this would not be possible
without the commitment, encouragement and generosity of
donors like you...There will always be more to do. We know
that. But what you and what our many supporters have
demonstrated through your investment in Einstein is a belief
that we can and will do more – always.”
Special thanks to Betsy (center) and Richard Sheerr (left) for their leadership

using research to INFORM
Long-time MossRehab and Einstein champions,
Marc and Nancy Shrier.
A Gift to Promote Understanding
and Care Through Education
For Nancy and Marc Shrier the connection to MossRehab and Einstein
is familial and it is strong.
Nancy’s father, Larry Wachtel, was a member of the original Willowcrest Board of
Directors. Her stepbrother, Louis Rosenthal, served for many years on the Einstein
Board of Directors and her stepmother, Hilda Wachtel, was a long-time member of
the Einstein Auxiliary. Nancy began her involvement as a candy striper at Willowcrest
at age 16.
Currently, as a member and former Chair of the MossRehab Advisory Board, Nancy
has dedicated countless hours in support of programs benefitting both MossRehab
and the network. Nancy and Marc’s children, Lee and Peter, were born at Einstein.
Together, Nancy and Marc most recently served as Co-Chairs of Einstein’s 150th
Anniversary Committee.
Nancy and Marc have expanded the family legacy of support and become major
champions of the life-changing care being delivered at MossRehab. Some of their
enthusiastic advocacy comes from having a positive experience themselves. As
Marc explains, “I have undergone three joint replacements over an eight-year period
and each time completed my rehabilitation at MossRehab. You can say I am a very
satisfied customer.”

While the Shriers can attest to the outstanding care provided
to patients at MossRehab, they can also testify to the
transformative work being done at Moss Rehabilitation
Research Institute (MRRI). For the last twelve years, Nancy
has immersed herself in learning and understanding
the innovative research and pioneering rehabilitation
technologies currently in process at MRRI designed to
enhance the care delivered to MossRehab patients.
“Both Marc and I are fascinated by the research being
undertaken at MRRI,” reports Nancy. “The work they
conduct keeps raising the bar as to how rehabilitation is
delivered. Their focus on the physical and cognitive science
of rehabilitation makes them a leader in the field and they
truly are helping to change the lives of people who have
experienced some very significant and life-altering injury
or illness.”
Marrying their desire to support the research efforts of
MossRehab and their interest in ongoing education, the
Shriers made a generous gift in support of a program which
combines both. The Shrier Family Topics in Rehabilitation
Science Lecture Series enables MRRI to better support
its staff by creating and funding opportunities to expand
both internal and external research education. Additionally,
it provides resources to support engaging guest lecturers
from other leading research organizations, in addition to
MossRehab clinicians.
Working with John Whyte, MD, PhD, founding Director
of Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, the Shriers are
supporting Einstein’s goal of providing the most advanced
therapy and technology to help patients overcome physical
disabilities and get back to the business of life.
“Through COLLABORATION we are able to share PROGRESS and
build on successes to benefit patients around the world and at home.”
Marc and Nancy Shrier (far right) attended the most recent installment of the Shrier Family Topics in Rehabilitation Science Lecture Series with John Whyte,
MD, PhD, founding Director of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI) to hear guest speaker Steve Jax, PhD, Institute Scientist, MRRI.

“Both Nancy and Marc are engaged and active participants in
the work of MRRI. I know they gave this careful consideration
and I am so personally gratified by their support of our work
and their belief in what is possible for patients who have
experienced significant disability,” says Dr. Whyte. “The
Shrier Research Lecture Series provides the opportunity to
disseminate research and promote discussion to directly
inform and impact patient care.”
These lectures are presented by MRRI scientists, as well
as scientists from other leading research organizations,
to MossRehab clinicians including physicians, therapists,
psychologists, nurses and social workers, allowing for
the latest research to directly inform and impact patient
care. In addition to the lecture series, MRRI scientists
travel throughout the world participating in top research
conferences, often as speakers.
our work not only on a local level amongst ourselves, but
internationally. Through collaboration we are able to share
progress and build on successes to benefit patients around
the world and at home.”
“I liken MossRehab to an onion,” says Marc. “There are many
layers and the more you peel back, the more you are drawn
into the work and you become more impressed. I can’t think
of a better place to invest and see the best possible return
in what they accomplish on behalf of their patients and
their families.”
Nancy explains, “They just keep moving to another level. It is
just amazing and humbling to play a small role in all they are
doing and contribute to the forward momentum.”
“Our research impacts the work of scientists worldwide
and occupies a unique position within a translational
pipeline from basic neuroscience to clinical neuroscience
and neurorehabilitation,” explains Dr. Whyte. “The gift from
Nancy and Marc has helped make it possible for us to share

STRAWBRIDGE
STORY
a mission to serve SUSTAINED
Germantown Hospital’s Legacy Remains
Rooted in the Community with Einstein
Above: An ambulance idles outside Germantown
Hospital c. 1920.
The end of the Civil War was the catalyst for change which impacted
cities across the war-torn North and South. It was during this time that
Philadelphia experienced a healthcare renaissance as need began to outpace the
number of facilities available that were able and willing to treat patients regardless
of financial situation, ethnicity or religion.
Throughout the growing neighborhoods, community leaders were finding creative
and collaborative ways to make sure those in need received quality and proper
healthcare. There was a strong desire to anchor care facilities in the community in
order to increase and encourage access. The Germantown section of Philadelphia
was no exception.
In January 1864, a group of like-minded physicians and community leaders
joined Dr. James E. Rhoads in opening the Germantown Dispensary. Dedicated
to “dispensing medical services and medicines to the poor of Germantown,”
the Dispensary was the foundation upon which Germantown Hospital would
eventually grow and flourish.
7

As the need grew, so did the facility and the support of
the community. The unprecedented growth of the hospital
was punctuated in 1923 when Board President, Francis
R. Strawbridge, launched a successful 10-day campaign
to raise $1 million to rebuild the hospital. Strawbridge
was the well-known owner/operator of Philadelphia’s
famed Strawbridge & Clothier department store and a
Germantown resident.
“My grandfather was on the board, of what was then
called Greater Germantown Dispensary and Hospital, for
50 years,” recalls Francis R. Strawbridge III. “The hospital
and my family became intertwined from the moment my
grandfather became involved.”
It was families like the Strawbridges who recognized the
significant purpose served by community hospitals. They
dedicated great personal effort toward ensuring the viability
of these facilities. Francis R. Strawbridge and his wife,
Anna Estes Strawbridge, worked tirelessly on behalf of
Germantown Hospital.
For Strawbridge, Germantown Hospital figures prominently
in his childhood memories. “I remember, as a young
child, going to my grandparents’ house on Schoolhouse
Lane for Sunday dinner. Mid-way thought the meal, my
grandfather would get up and leave for the hospital to walk
the floors and be with the patients and their families,” recalls
Strawbridge.
These were more than just gestures on the part of the
Strawbridge family. Through Francis Sr. and Anna, a
Strawbridge family legacy was launched involving them in
all aspects of hospital operations, from administration to
volunteering and auxiliary fundraisers.
“Germantown was a hospital of ‘firsts’ for the City of
Philadelphia,” explains Hugh J. Maher, former President of
Germantown Hospital. “We had the first intensive care unit
in Philly and the first cardiac care unit. The Cardiac Care
Unit, opened in 1967, exceeded all expectations for patient
utilization. It helped us become one of Philadelphia’s most
preeminent community health care institutions.”
Other firsts were patient care amenities including being the
first totally carpeted hospital and the first hospital “tower”
with all private patient rooms, which, according to Maher,
started a trend of such towers across the country. All of
these accomplishments occurred under the watchful and
supportive eye of the Strawbridge family.
“The hospital and my family became INTERTWINED from the
MOMENT my grandfather became involved.”
– Francis R. Strawbridge, III

“We, ultimately, felt very comfortable partnering with Einstein as we
felt CONFIDENT they would be the most PROACTIVE in helping to
sustain our mission.”
Frank maintained the Strawbridge family tradition of
involvement at Germantown. As a member of the Board
of Directors, he worked closely with Maher and Executive
Vice President, David A. Ricci, who succeeded Maher as
President, in helping to guide the hospital through some of
the most tumultuous decades in healthcare. As the second
generation to Chair the Board of Managers, Strawbridge
oversaw some of the most significant developments in
Germantown Hospital’s 100-year history.
In the late 1990s, Philadelphia’s healthcare industry was
undergoing another renaissance, one which saw many
venerable providers seeking ways to continue to sustain their
missions in a changing and uncertain landscape. It became
increasingly evident to Strawbridge and Ricci that longterm
viability of the institution, and preservation of a mission
begun with such noble intent, was becoming dependent on
finding a like-minded partner.
As Strawbridge remembers, “We were intent upon not
abandoning the community. We would not leave. Therefore
it became increasingly important we find a partner with a
similar commitment to providing healthcare responsive to
community need, in the community.”
For those whose heart and soul were part of the lifeblood
of Germantown, like Strawbridge, this was not to be just
a business transaction. It would become an exhaustive
evaluation by board, administrative and medical staff, of
likely partners to determine who would best continue to
nurture the roots of Germantown’s community-based
healthcare mission.
It was the then-named, Albert Einstein Medical Center,
whose mission and history most aligned with Germantown’s
strategic goals. “We were very impressed by Einstein’s
commitment to the community, from board leadership on
down. The mission permeated the organization and we,
ultimately, felt very comfortable partnering with Einstein as
we felt confident they would be the most proactive in helping
to sustain our mission,” Strawbridge states.
“We felt good knowing Einstein would not abandon the
community of Germantown. Their goals for growth clearly
established that they were committed to delivering the best
healthcare and to maintaining Germantown as a healthcare

resource,” he says. “We knew that if realignment of acute
services was ever needed, our community would still be able
to easily access services through Einstein’s facilities.”
Today, Germantown Hospital remains a community
resource. While the acute care services have been relocated
to Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia, it has become the
center of Einstein’s mental and behavioral health services
and a community-based location for comprehensive cardiac
and physical rehab services.
“It was a difficult decision to make such a drastic change,
especially given Germantown’s long and storied history of
providing care to the community,” remembers Strawbridge.
“My family and I are so proud of all that was accomplished
at Germantown and the unique role it played in helping to
serve the needs of the community. I am pleased to know the
roots of our commitment have become so strongly entwined
with Einstein’s and that the community we served for so long
continues to get the care and services they need.”

“Dedicated to the Relief of the Sick and
Wounded Without Regard to Creed,
Color or Nationality.”
When the Jewish Hospital, today known as Einstein Healthcare
Network, opened its doors in 1866, these profound words inscribed over its
entrance served as a beacon of hope for those in need. Jewish Civil War soldiers
and freed slaves, women and children, rich and poor, all received equal medical
care side by side, without hesitation or discrimination.
Now a regional healthcare network, recognized as a leader in both medical care
and training, Einstein remains committed to these prophetic words. It has grown
and thrived through a century and a half of monumental changes in healthcare
while maintaining its original Mission.
It was Einstein's Mission that remained at the heart of Einstein’s 150th anniversary
celebration throughout 2016. After a hugely successful kick-off celebration in
January, and several key events throughout the spring, the network continued to
mark the year in a number of memorable ways, all leading up to the culmination of
the year’s festivities at Harvest Ball Weekend.

Can You Dig It?
Time Capsule Buried to Commemorate
150th Anniversary
As a special way to help future generations remember
Einstein’s 150th anniversary, a time capsule was buried
last fall. The capsule contains photos and mementos that
recognize the significant role Einstein has played in medicine,
education and the life of the greater Philadelphia area for
the last 150 years. Einstein employees were in on the fun
with a contest to suggest items to be included for posterity.
Several of those employees each took a turn with Einstein
President and Chief Executive Officer, Barry Freedman, and
Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia Chief Operating Officer,
Ruth Lefton, tossing a ceremonial shovelful of dirt over the
capsule, which was installed next to the historic Henry S.
Frank Memorial Synagogue. Among the many items inside,
Einstein also left a few “surprises” for those who will unearth
and open the box on its 250th anniversary.
See you in 2116! Barry Freedman helps bury the Einstein 150 time capsule
which will be opened during the network’s 250th anniversary.
Historical Display Highlights 150 Years of Compassion
To help commemorate Einstein's anniversary year, an exhibit
marking its journey from a 22-bed hospital called the Jewish
Hospital, to the regional healthcare system it is today, was on
display at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania in July 2016.
The one-of-a-kind exhibit traced the Jewish Hospital’s start
in 1866, when it served as a refuge for soldiers returning
from the Civil War, freed slaves and immigrants. Over the
past century and a half, the Jewish Hospital evolved into
Einstein Healthcare Network while maintaining its original
Mission to provide compassionate care for all.
Numerous historic items and photographs were on display,
including a number of personal artifacts from Einstein
Board member Ruth DuBois. Ruth’s father and mother met
at what was the Jewish Hospital when he was a resident
and she was a nurse. Special thanks to Ruth for sharing
the artifacts.
A photo of the Women’s Ward, Jewish Hospital c. 1916, was just one of
many photos on display at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
Many other artifacts were featured, including this original test tube set,

64th Annual Harvest Ball
Saturday, November 5, 2016
The past, present and future collided in a whirlwind of
experiences at the 64th Annual Harvest Ball.
Throughout the night guests were enticed to #timewarp
through various milestone eras in Einstein’s history. Famed
Bellevue bar and restaurant XIX was draped in pearls and
was bathed in jazz while an artist deftly sketched portraits
against a 1920s speakeasy background. A short elevator
ride later, attendees were transported to the groovy 1960s.
Across the hall, guests traveled “back to the future” as hits
from the 1980s kept the crowd dancing before the ballroom
doors opened.
Inside the ballroom, it was Harvest Ball reimagined.
Harvest Ball attendees dance the night away.
The excitement of the evening was shared by many of
Einstein’s leaders, including Larry Reichlin, Chairman of
Einstein’s Board of Overseers; Barry Freedman, President
and CEO; and Bobbi Wasserman, President of The Friends
of Einstein Healthcare Network, who welcomed everyone to
the Ball. Despite the many new experiences at the Ball and
throughout its 150th anniversary year, Freedman reminded
everyone that Einstein’s Mission is always first
and foremost.

Where to go next? That was the question as guests were whisked through
a multi-sensory time warp.
“The idea of being of service to others and helping to make
their lives better has been part of Einstein since we first
opened our doors in 1866,” stated Freedman. “Our shared
commitment to people and caring is at the heart of Einstein
and everything we do.”
Reichlin, Freedman and Wasserman thanked the 150th
Anniversary Committee Chairpersons – Alison and Marc
Feldman, Susan and Leonard Klehr, Jill and Jon Powell,
and Nancy and Marc Shrier– as well as the more than 300
committee members who worked so hard not only to make
Harvest Ball Weekend a spectacular success, but also the
entire yearlong celebration.
The surprises kept on coming throughout the night. In the
ballroom, dancers led the crowd on the floor in the famed
“Time Warp” dance from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

When midnight came, the band was still in high gear and
the dance floor was full. There was so much to celebrate,
including a record-breaking fundraising effort of more than
$1.2 million! Proceeds from the Ball will benefit Einstein’s
new state-of-the-art telehealth program which will enhance
access to care.
“Telehealth is the future of healthcare, allowing patients
to connect with their physicians on a daily basis from the
comfort of home,” stated Freedman. “Our new telehealth
system, EinsteinDirect, will bring an exceptional healthcare
experience to each and every patient, regardless of his or her
physical location.”

After a night of dancing and merriment, our Einstein Family
Brunch provided the perfect time to relax, reminisce and
celebrate the next 150 years of Einstein Healthcare Network!
With Harvest Ball just hours in the past, Hyatt at The
Bellevue’s ballroom changed once more, this time into a
quaint, family-focused brunch outing. The family-friendly event
featured carnival-styled games, crafts, face painting and
balloon animals for all children in attendance while a DJ played
the perfect sounds for Sunday morning. Even the Eagles Pep
Band stopped by for a surprise guest appearance revving
everyone up for the afternoon game with the familiar E-A-G-
L-E-S cheer! And last, but certainly not least, a tribute to all
those Born at Einstein.

why EINSTEIN?
Lisa Jablon, MD, Director of Einstein’s Breast
Health Program, thanks Claudia Pohorilenko-
Toskos, for the family’s generous donation
which facilitated the acquisition of the
MarginProbe® System.
Honoring Inspired Care
& Caregivers
Sometimes, the bond between patient and caregiver
transcends a “doctor-patient” relationship. Sometimes, the care a physician,
nurse or therapist provides goes above and beyond in a way that leaves a lasting
and indelible mark of comfort during a time of uncertainty, confusion and anxiety.
Unbeknownst to the caregiver, they have created a bond. For them, it may be all in
a day’s work, but for the patient and their family it is so much more.
18
Lisa Jablon, MD, demonstrates the new
MarginProbe® device.
When Olga Pohorilenko was diagnosed with breast cancer, her daughter,
Claudia Pohorilenko-Toskos, jumped into action to help her mother navigate the
complexities of her medical care. “My mother was initially diagnosed with breast
cancer in 2004 and she fought this disease with every ounce of energy she could
muster,” she says fondly. “She knew what it was like to fight for your life and she
was very focused on trying to make that fight easier for others.”
Joining them on this journey was Lisa Jablon, MD, FACS Director of the Breast
Health Program at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia. “Olga was special, you
knew it from the moment you met her,” Jablon recalls. “As a breast surgeon, you
get to know people over time and it was my privilege to get to know Olga and
her family.”

“This is EXACTLY what our goal has been from the beginning
– to inspire INNOVATION.”
“Dr. Jablon was with us pretty much every step of the way
and we are so grateful for the care and support she gave my
mother and our family,” says Pohorilenko-Toskos. “She was
there to not only provide sound medical advice and care,
but she was there to explain what we didn’t understand,
answer questions on the weekends, and address not only
my mother’s physical needs, but the emotional needs of all
of us who loved her.”
This care made a lasting impact. “She (Dr. Jablon) basically
became an extended member of our family.”
It was through her own experiences that Olga became very
concerned about others facing a similar diagnosis. “My
mother was always very interested in how treatments were
evolving and how things could be made better for women
as they were fighting this disease,” explains Pohorilenko-
Toskos. “The options for better diagnosing and treating this
disease grew exponentially from the time my mother was
diagnosed and over her almost ten-year battle. We both
became very focused on how to make sure other women
had access to these innovations.”
Cancer eventually claimed Olga’s life, but the relationship
developed between her family and Dr. Jablon would lead to
a partnership that has brought life to Olga’s legacy. A legacy
which is already changing lives.
In honor of Olga, and to show their overwhelming
appreciation for the care Dr. Jablon provided during her
life, Pohorilenko-Toskos and her siblings decided to raise
funds to donate to Einstein’s Breast Health Program. When
approached with this idea and asked what the money could
be used for, Jablon knew exactly what she wanted to help
improve her ability to treat women with breast cancer.
With the generous support of the Pohorilenko Family,
Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia purchased the
MarginProbe® System and became the first hospital in
Philadelphia to offer brand-new technology to enhance the
care they provide their patients.
“When surgeons perform a lumpectomy for breast cancer,
a rim of normal tissue is removed around the tumor called
the margin,” explains Jablon. “When margins around the
tumor show no cancer, the margins are described as clear
or negative. Having a clear margin is an indication that the
cancer has been completely removed.”
The Pohorilenko Family gathers to celebrate the life of family matriarch, Olga
Pohorilenko. Her daughter, Claudia Pohorilenko-Toskos, spearheaded the
family’s efforts to raise the funds donated in her mother’s name.
She goes on to explain, “This technology helps surgeons
learn the status of the margins before the lumpectomy
is completed. In this way, we can remove tissue in one
surgical procedure, hopefully avoiding the need for a
second surgery.”
Jablon is thrilled to have this new technology to offer the
women seeking care at Einstein, and the Pohorilenko Family
is thrilled to have been able to make bringing this technology
to Einstein possible.
“This is exactly what our goal has been from the beginning –
to inspire innovation,” says Pohorilenko-Toskos. “We are so
grateful to Dr. Jablon for the care she provided our mother,
and for helping to fulfill her legacy of providing cutting-edge
technology in the fight against cancer. Our hope is that
many women benefit from this technology and improve their
chances of a happy and healthy future.”

elief in our MISSION
Remembering the Strength of Commitment
Bruce Koch found joy in so many aspects
of his life.
In his 34-year marriage to his best friend and most avid
supporter, LaRose Ray, he found a lifelong partnership.
Together they would have two daughters, Jessi and
Nina, and a granddaughter, Antoinette. “Bruce had many
passions, however his family was definitely first and foremost
in his heart,” explains Ray.
After his family, Bruce loved numbers and music. As a bass
guitarist and pianist, Koch indulged his passion for music
and shared his talents as a member of several bands in
the Philadelphia area. As a CPA, Koch used his head for
numbers to contribute to the financial success of several
local businesses throughout his career until he finally landed
with Starr Restaurants as Chief Financial Officer.
“He loved music and enjoyed accounting,” recalls Ray. “He
was so fortunate to have the opportunity to enjoy both in his
life and to use his talents to contribute to the community in
many ways.”
Koch’s financial background and expertise was what
the Honorable Leon Tucker, formerly a member of the
Germantown Hospital Board of Trustees and Einstein
Healthcare Network Board of Trustees, was looking to tap
into when he approached Koch about joining him as a
member of the Board of Trustees of Germantown Hospital
in 1997. While on the Germantown board, Koch and Tucker
helped to oversee Germantown’s merger with Albert Einstein
Medical Center, now Einstein Healthcare Network, in 1999.
“Bruce and I became friends through our children when
they were at Germantown Friends School and I immediately
thought of him when Germantown Hospital was looking
to recruit new board members,” recalls Tucker. “We were
looking for good people who understood the community and
the hospital and Bruce was the perfect choice.”
Bruce Koch was a member of Einstein’s Board of Trustees
from 1999 until his passing in 2016.
As meticulous in his board responsibilities as he was in his
business dealings, Koch became an immediate asset to
Germantown’s board. His leadership during Germantown’s
merger with Einstein made him a logical choice to serve on
the Einstein Board of Trustees and he quickly became a
trusted member of the Finance Committee.
“Bruce became committed, heart and soul, to Einstein,”
recalls Ray. “He was most impressed by the diversity of the
community served by Einstein and dedicated his time on the
board to helping ensure the long-term viability of Einstein’s
Mission. He believed in the Mission and worked tirelessly to
ensure services like maternity care would not only remain
open, but be enhanced and expanded to provide care to the
community.”
The impact he made during his lifetime is immeasurable.
Not only on those so close to him, but on those who did not
even know him.
“He was PASSIONATE about making sure those in need would
receive the CARE they deserved.”
20

When Bruce Koch passed away at the young age of 60, he
left a void in the lives of those who loved and cared for him.
But he also left a legacy which continues to impact the lives
of the thousands of patients served by Einstein every year.
Through a planned gift as part of his will, he continues to give
back to the community and institution he served so well in life.
While the sadness of his loss still weighs on her heart,
LaRose Ray is proud of the legacy her husband has left and
comforted by the knowledge he is still making a difference.
“He was passionate about making sure those in need would
receive the care they deserved. He would be so proud to
know he is still able to make a difference.”
Recently, Einstein Healthcare Network celebrated its Legacy Circle members, of which Bruce Koch is a member. The Legacy Circle honors Einstein’s
generous and forward-thinking friends who are each creating their own personal legacy while helping to sustain Einstein’s historic Mission. Some of Bruce
Koch’s fellow Legacy Circle members shown here being honored with their Legacy Pins are: (L-R, back row) Charlotte Rosenthal; Debra Hollander; Jay
Minkoff; Barry Freedman; Sam Klein; Susan Kline Klehr; Ruth Lefton; Beth Duffy; Arnold Cohen, MD; and S. Ty Steinberg. (L-R, front row) Neysa Adams; Elsa
Behrend; and Marjorie Steinberg.
