SCHUYLER HEALTH FOUNDATION

Schuyler Health Foundation, Inc. was incorporated in 1987.  The purpose of the Foundation is to provide funds to or for the benefit of Schuyler Hospital and its related medical facilities.  The Foundation’s goal is to create and maintain a steady, dependable stream of funds to accomplish the hospital’s mission, which is “to optimize the health and healing experience of all people we serve in a safe, compassionate, and respectful environment”.

The Foundation accomplishes this by:

•soliciting, accepting, holding, investing, reinvesting, and
    administering any gift, grant, bequest, contribution, benefit
    or trust, endowment, and property of any kind, without
    limitation as to amount or value

•  using, disbursing, or paying the income or principal thereof 
   exclusively for the foregoing purposes or in the advancement thereof

The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors – five of whom are nominated by the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of the Hospital and seven directors who are selected at large from the community, all of whom are being nominated by the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of Schuyler Health Foundation, Inc.  All of these people are volunteers with a keen interest in and passion for Schuyler Hospital.

In 1992, the Family of Friends Campaign was created for the purpose of soliciting community involvement.  Since that time, through the generous contributions and gifts of the Hospital’s Family of Friends, the Foundation has raised thousands of dollars that have been directed to a variety of healthcare needs and programs as identified by hospital physicians and administrations.
