Geneva General Hospital receives $15K foundation grant for X-ray machine

GENEVA — The Finger Lakes Health Foundation has received a $15,000 grant from the Marilyn Lichtman Foundation to support the purchase and installation of a new X-ray machine at Geneva General Hospital. “Our goal is to provide the best possible care to our patients, and offering the most current, state-of-the-art equipment possible helps us do that,” Jeff Murad, director of diagnostics at UR Medicine Finger Lakes Health, said in an announcement. “Our thanks to the Board of The Marilyn Lichtman Foundation for their generosity and partnership in promoting the health and well-being of our community, our mission here at Finger Lakes Health.” The Marilyn Lichtman Foundation is the legacy of Marilyn Lichtman, a successful business owner in the health and human services field. According to the foundation’s website, “She believed that human comfort rests in the body and the soul, and both should be nourished.” The foundation currently supports a broad range of community services providers including veterans’ services, emergency housing and homeless shelters, food banks, first responders’ organizations, as well as other medical and human services providers. The Finger Lakes Health Foundation says it cultivates, secures, and stewards philanthropic gifts to support the capital, programmatic and endowment needs of UR Medicine Finger Lakes Health. Gifts to the foundation support programs and special projects of Finger Lakes Health and its affiliated entities across a four-county region in central and western New York: Geneva General Hospital, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital in Penn Yan, Living Centers at Geneva North and South, Huntington Living Center in Waterloo, The Homestead in Penn Yan, and a variety of physician practices.
