10 Million by 2010 |
|
|
The Foundation Board of Trustees and staff are proud to be at the threshold of a new era of growth as we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of our incorporation. Our past accomplishments have made it possible for us to move into this new era with great enthusiasm. Many of you know that the Foundation has had tenants in the Center for Nursing for almost 10 years. They will be leaving in 2007 and we intend to occupy the entire building. Our goals include creating a nursing museum, increasing our health education programs, promoting and assisting nurses in becoming involved in research and promoting nursing recruitment and retention. In order to reach these goals the Foundation is undertaking a capital campaign to raise 10 million dollars by the year 2010. This campaign will enable us to expand the work of our three Centers substantially. Reaching our fund raising goal will be easy with your support!
We are enormously grateful for donations in any amount that you are able to contribute as we strive for better programming for the public and registered nurses throughout the world.

Bravo for Nursing Excellence in New York
We have learned that Mary Imogene Basset Hospital has been redesignated as a Magnet Hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. We commend the Bassett nursing leadership team and the nursing leadership teams of all facilities in New York State who have achieved Magnet designation or redesignation. Magnet Recognition is the gold standard for determination for excellence in nursing care. Redesignation is as rigorous a process as initial designation because the criteria require achieving an ever higher level of excellence. The New York nursing profession and public are very fortunate to have the professional commitment, expertise and dedication of the nursing staffs of these Magnet facilities:
- Elmhurst Hospital Center, Elmhurst, NY
- FF Thompson Hospital, Canandaigua, NY
- Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, West Islip, NY
- Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY
- Hudson Valley Hospital Center, Cortlandt Manor, NY
- Huntington Hospital, Huntington, NY
- Mary Imogene Basset Hospital, Cooperstown, NY
- Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, NY
- New York University Medical Center, New York, NY
- Our Lady of Lourdes Memorial Hospital, Binghamton, NY
- Rochester General Hospital, Rochester, NY
- St. Francis Hospital, Roslyn, NY
- St. Joseph's Hospital HealthCare Center, Syracuse, NY
- St. Peter's Hospital, Albany, NY
- The Saratoga Hospital, Saratoga Springs, NY
