A Message from the Chairman
FoundationsSpecial 2005 Annual Report Edition
Spring 2006
The culture of philanthropy
is alive and well at Northeast
Health. You do not have to look
far within our system to know
that while the dollar total
matters ... what matters even
more is that our supporters
continue to care about helping others. The Foun-
dation has numerous commitments from within
the Northeast Health family that enable us to
strengthen our broader community efforts. We
can be proud of our “family members” who have
helped set the pace for others.
As you will see in this edition of Foundations,
we are bustling with activity. The support of our
family and friends truly makes a difference.
Thank you to all who have made our many suc-
cesses possible. What a great 12 months the
Foundation has had – exciting and productive!
Read on to see a few examples of the many gifts
we have received.
John M. Scarchilli
Chairman, Northeast Health Foundation
A Tribute to their Grandparents
For newlyweds Rachel and Patrick Fazioli,
their wedding favors held a much greater signifi-
With charitable giving a family affair, it wasn’t
surprising when Julie and her family chose to make
a monetary contribution to Samaritan’s Hospice
Care Enhancement Fund. Julie, a 20-year employee
of Samaritan, explained that they chose to give to
the hospice fund because it allows her and her
family to witness “their donation dollars in action.”
Beverwyck Resident Annual Scholarship
Award Program
The residents of Beverwyck, The Eddy’s
independent and assisted living retirement com-
munity in Slingerlands, realize the importance of
higher education and the significant difference it
makes in an individual’s life and the community in
which they live. That’s why, a couple of years ago,
they decided to establish an annual employee
scholarship award program. Through the thought-
ful generosity of Beverwyck residents, employees
of the Beverwyck community, who might otherwise
not have the opportunity to further their education,
are provided scholarship funds to help them fulfill
their dreams.
The scholarship is funded from donations
received from Beverwyck residents and from
proceeds obtained from the Employee Auction.
Awards of $1,000 are distributed annually to
individuals embarking upon a course of study in
an accredited education program up to a period of
four years. Currently, Beverwyck residents have
raised an astonishing total of more than $50,000
and have awarded this scholarship to three
deserving staff members.

cance than the ordinary tasty treat or scented
candle. Preserving the memory of Amelia DeNice,
Rachel’s grandmother and honoring Patrick’s
grandfather, Joseph Bouchard, was something that
meant so much more. In place of favors, guests
received a card at their seat announcing a dona-
tion had been made in their name to Samaritan
Hospital’s Cancer Treatment Center and the
Marjorie Doyle Rockwell Center.
To Rachel, it was a way of having her grand-
mother with her on her wedding day, and for
Patrick a way of showing his admiration for his
grandfather. “It’s important that young people give
back to the community and if you can tailor your
donation to a specific organization, one that holds
value to you, that’s all the more reason to donate,”
Rachel says. “I think this is a new trend for wed-
dings. It’s a nice touch from the bride and groom.”
Rachael and Patrick are both charitable
people who grew up around families that gave
back to the community. “I’ve always had a soft
spot in my heart for people in need,” she says.
What appealed to Rachel most about Northeast
Health is she was able to make her donation to
two very specific affiliates. “Northeast Health is
local, it’s right in your backyard and it’s a
great organization!”
Hospice Care Enhancement Fund at
Albany Memorial & Samaritan Hospitals
Working in partnership with The Community
Hospice, our compassionate and skilled nursing
staffs at both Albany Memorial & Samaritan
hospitals provide the utmost in palliative care so
that our patients are as comfortable as possible
while they are with us. Thanks to the generosity
of contributors to our Hospice Care Enhancement
Fund, we can ensure that patients and families
who come to us in the future will receive this
same comfort and care.
Julie Weeden, a nurse on Samaritan’s sixth
floor hospice unit, and her family have always
been very active with community charities. She,
husband Bruce and three sons — 14, 12 and 9 —
participate in many regional fundraising events
such as the “Making Strides for Breast Cancer
Walk” and “Fast and Famine for World Vision.”
A cancer survivor, Julie marked her 40th birthday
by participating in a walk to raise funds for cancer.

A Message from Karl Coté,Vice President, Northeast Health Foundation
The Compass Society is off
to a great start! We formed
this legacy society to honor
those who have planned a
future gift to benefit Northeast
Health and its affiliates. Why?
We found that oftentimes
individuals would include Northeast Health in
their wills, but we would not find out about it
until it was too late for us to thank them for their
generous gift.
Now that we have the Compass Society, we
encourage people to notify us when they have
included us in their estate plans, so we can thank
them for their gift today. Such gifts include:
• a bequest to Northeast Health in your will
• a charitable gift annuity, where you receive
income for life
• naming Northeast Health as a beneficiary
of a trust or life insurance policy
Our planned giving committee met in January
and is currently developing educational materials
that will help explain the many benefits available
to potential donors when making a planned gift.
I am very excited about the Compass Society
and the partnership it forms with the people in
our community ... people like you who are helping
Northeast Health provide the very best in health-
care, community services and supportive housing
for our family, friends and neighbors.
If you have already included Northeast
Health in your will or in another planned gift,
“thank you!” Please give me a call at 271-5025
so we can enroll you in the Compass Society, or
if you would like more information about planned
giving. I would be happy to discuss the many
benefits available to you through a planned gift
to Northeast Health.
What is the Compass Society?
It is a legacy society honoring and including
those who have planned a future gift, a “de-
ferred” or “planned” gift, to benefit The Eddy,
Albany Memorial Hospital, Samaritan Hospital,
or any affiliate of Northeast Health.
How do I benefit?
By giving a planned gift, you could receive:
• income throughout retirement
• savings on capital gains taxes
• savings on income taxes
• savings on estate taxes
• the ability to take low-yielding assets
and create a high-yielding flow of income
• the opportunity to make a life-affirming gift
to Northeast Health or any of its institutions
or programs
• the chance to direct your assets to our local
mission of healing, using your funds which
otherwise may have gone out of the area
to pay taxes
Do I need to be wealthy to be a philanthropist?
You don’t have to be wealthy. And, there
are real financial benefits available. You can
create a legacy for you and your family that
will continue your good work for years to come.
What can I give?
While many gifts are made with cash,
stocks, bonds, mutual funds or retirement plans,
you can also make a gift in the form of appreci-
ated real estate, fine art or other assets.
What are examples of “deferred gifts”?
A deferred gift can be a bequest in your
will, or a gift that pays you income for life,
and then, upon your death, benefits Northeast
Health or any of its affiliates.
The Compass Society: Charting the Coursefor Northeast Health
What gift to Northeast Health could also
provide income to me/us for life?
There are several ways to do this. The size
of your gift or the type of asset you use will
suggest which may benefit you the most. To
start, we would discuss your needs and then
select an appropriate way to meet those needs
and match your wishes. For example, for
“deferred” gifts of $10,000 (or more), people
often choose a charitable gift annuity, a contract
between you and the Northeast Health Founda-
tion which arranges to pay you a fixed income
for life. For deferred gifts larger than $100,000,
it may be advantageous to use a charitable
remainder trust, or other types of trusts.
What can I fund it with?
It can be funded with cash, appreciated
securities, or other assets such as fine art or
real estate.
What rate of income will I receive?
The payments to you are based on rates
recommended by the American Council on
Gift Annuities. They are determined at the
time you make your charitable gift. Current
examples for an individual (annuities can
also be created for two) are:
Age Rate
75 7.1%
80 8.0%
85 9.5%
90+ 11.3%
Can you share a personalized example?
Yes. We can easily show you the income and
tax benefits based on your personal circum-
stances. Please ask for a confidential illustration.
Call us at 274-0190. And thank you for considering
a gift that also provides income to you for life.
The Leora Belknap Sock Fund for Memorial
Hospital & Samaritan Hospital Schools of Nursing
An RN, who has worked in the Northeast
Health network with many nursing students,
decided to reestablish the legacy left by Leora
Belknap, RN. Miss Belknap had a rewarding 40-
year career at Samaritan Hospital, 20 of them
spent as director of the School of Nursing. Miss
Belknap started the “sock fund” to assist students
who were in need of cash to help them through a
difficult time. Whenever it was time to replenish
the fund, she would simply state to staff, “The
sock is empty!” Before long, staff members would
contribute funds to assure that there were suffi-
cient dollars in this emergency stash. She truly
cared, and through her caring, she offered many
of her colleagues an opportunity to show their
care and concern to needy students. The donor
wishes to continue this
tradition first introduced
by Miss Belknap so many
years ago. Donations to
the fund will assist
students who need cash
to get through a financial
crunch. Funds given to
needy students will be
considered gifts ... repay-
ment will not be expected,
and staff and faculty of
the Schools of Nursing will recommend students
for gifts from this fund. The Foundation and the
donor are working in partnership to generate
additional dollars to ensure these “socks” con-
tinue to be available at both schools!

Cuisine Magic 2006 ... A Culinary Delight
While it’s always important to look ahead, it is
equally important to honor and embrace our tradi-
tions, heritage and the accomplishments of the past.
For generations now, Albany Memorial Hospital
has been strengthened and championed by the work
and generosity of the Slingerland family.
In the last century, there was not a single
capital campaign or need at Albany Memorial
Hospital that did not benefit from the leadership
of Freddie Slingerland, Donald Slingerland, and/
or Frederick McDonald. That heritage continues
today. In fact, we’re pleased that Frank
An Enduring Legacy: The Slingerland FamilySlingerland, representing the next generation, has
now joined the Northeast Health Foundation
board of directors.
The Frederick McDonald Trust, originally
established by Mr. McDonald to perpetuate his
generosity to the institutions and needs he sup-
ported in Albany, has again helped Albany Memo-
rial, this time to benefit the campaign for the new
$14 million expansion/renewal of the emergency
department. The Bank of America is the trustee
for Mr. McDonald’s trust. The Donald Slingerland
Charitable Trust has also supported the project,
as has Frank, personally.
The essential work that the Slingerland/
McDonald family has accomplished for many
generations continues. It is a legacy that we at
Northeast Health Foundation value and of which
we are ever mindful.
There are other legacies, established by other
families, individuals and corporations that are
also of lasting worth. We also honor them and
thank them.
Together, let us create one for your family.
In December, Eddy Memorial Geriatric
Center memorialized former resident Jeannette
Earls with a plaque in gratitude and recognition
of her $900,000 bequest to the skilled nursing
facility. A math teacher, Jeannette started out
teaching in a one-room school house before
moving to Delmar and teaching in the
Bethlehem School District for 34 years.
Remembering Jeannette Earls
L to r, Peter Young, vice presidentand administrator of Eddy MemorialGeriatric Center, Florence Bichteman,Jeannette’s niece, Bill Bichteman, andJo-Ann Costantino, CEO, The Eddy.
Her generous donation has helped
Eddy Memorial Geriatric Center
expand its facility which will benefit
the community for generations
to come.

Donors to the new Eddy Alzheimer’s Center at
Hawthorne Ridge in East Greenbush, as well as the
Marjorie Doyle Rockwell Center in Cohoes, will have
the opportunity to remember a loved one through
a unique new technology being introduced at
both communities.
Walls of Memory will showcase “wonder-
ful people, wonderful memories” through a
high-definition plasma display and interactive
touch-screen. Viewers can then read a story
about a loved one being honored and see a
photo of that person. There will also be a
dedication from the donor.
The husband of one of the first to be hon-
ored on the Walls of Memory recently wrote,
“Fortunately for us ... Marjorie Doyle Rockwell
and some others provided a sizable endowment
that allowed a facility to be built, styled after
the care they knew at home: they established it
to fulfill our needs for care for our loved ones
who lived with Alzheimer’s. It was a godsend
to those of us who needed it. Now, it is our
turn. And I write this for my wife, Jean.”
Donors who give or pledge $5,000 or more
to establish the new Eddy Alzheimer’s Center
in East Greenbush, or to support the work of
Walls of Memory to Honor Loved OnesMarjorie Doyle Rockwell Center or any other compo-
nent of Eddy Alzheimer’s Services, will have the
opportunity to share the story and picture of someone
they wish to honor on the Wall of Memory.
