About the Foundation
Established in 1985, Montefiore Nyack Foundation’s mission is to build enduring community relationships that promote and financially support Montefiore Nyack Hospital’s comprehensive state-of-the-art medical care, exceptional programs, and outstanding patient experiences.
Because of your support, we can provide the best of care, close to home.
Guided by our incredible Board of Directors, Montefiore Nyack Foundation is the fundraising arm of the Hospital. Founded in 1985, the Montefiore Nyack Foundation is committed to fostering deep connections between the hospital and the community. Our goal is to secure philanthropic support that enables Montefiore Nyack Hospital to deliver and uphold the highest standard of care for our patients and community members who rely on us as their community hospital.
Montefiore Nyack Hospital is a 391-bed acute care, medical and surgical hospital serving Rockland County and the lower Hudson Valley region. 2020 marked the Hospital’s 125th Anniversary of meeting the critical needs of people in the community. What started as a two-story house with nine beds, operating room, nurse’s parlor, reception area and dining room has today become a major regional medical center.
Because of supporters like you, we were able to purchase state-of-the-art equipment and provide the highest standard of care. Your support ensures that our healthcare team stays on the leading edge of treatment and technology.
Montefiore Nyack is the Hospital that YOU built!
