Physician leader nurtures Paoli Hospital's growth
Since 1973, when I began practicing medicine at Paoli Hospital, I have held many positions including Vice-Chairman of the Paoli Hospital Department of Surgery, Campus Chief of the Department of Surgery and System Chief of Orthopaedics for Main Line Health. I have also served on the Paoli Hospital Foundation and Main Line Health Boards.
I built my career in this community and raised my family here. Many of my grandkids were born at Paoli Hospital and recently, while undergoing a knee operation here, I witnessed firsthand – from the other side of the bed – the state-of-the-art facilities and exemplary patient care that Paoli Hospital has to offer.
Over the years, my wife Arlene and I watched the hospital grow tremendously and lent our philanthropic support along the way. But we decided to do more. We created a charitable gift annuity (CGA), allowing us to make a meaningful legacy gift to the hospital, while enjoying a fixed source of income.
We wanted a way to continue nurturing Paoli Hospital's growth through philanthropy for years to come, ensuring the hospital will remain at the forefront, and enhancing patient care with compassion and dignity.
I encourage you to consider the many ways that you too can plan a gift – like a CGA, a gift through your will, or an IRA designation – that supports the future of Paoli Hospital.
