The Adirondack Health Foundation is proud to launch this year’s Annual Fund Campaign: Together, We Can Elevate Health—a powerful opportunity for our community to unite in support of Adirondack Health’s mission: Better Health, Better Lives. This year’s campaign embodies our shared commitment to enhancing patient care and advancing healthcare services across our region.
“Annual giving is essential to Adirondack Health’s ability to provide the best care possible to our neighbors, friends and loved ones,” said Emily Moulton, Annual Giving Coordinator at Adirondack Health Foundation. “It enables us to upgrade essential equipment, adopt innovative technologies, and bring world-class healthcare to our community. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact on the lives of our patients and their families.”
This year’s campaign is hallmarked by two transformative initiatives that will drive progress and improve outcomes for Adirondack Health and the communities we serve.
Adirondack Health is expanding its surgical capabilities to meet growing demand. This year’s campaign will fund additional instrument sets for the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery System, enhancing precision in total knee and hip replacements.
These instruments will allow us to:
✔ Increase surgical capacity, reducing delays
✔ Improve team coordination for greater efficiency
✔ Shorten wait times, ensuring timely care
"An additional instrument set will help us provide treatment exactly when it’s needed," said Megan Guay, Director of Perioperative Services – OR.
Since 2020, Adirondack Health has led the region in robotic-assisted joint replacements. With procedures expected to rise significantly by 2030, these instruments are essential to meeting demand and delivering exceptional care.
"With these new instruments, we can provide a truly personalized surgical experience, ensuring the highest precision and best outcomes," said Dr. Bartlomiej Szczech, Director of Joint Replacement Surgery.
As a Comprehensive Joint Replacement Center of Excellence, Adirondack Health remains committed to innovation, quality, and outstanding patient outcomes. These advancements will benefit more than 100 patients in the coming year.
The imaging department at Adirondack Health will also benefit from replacing its aging fluoroscopy equipment, last updated in 2009, with the Luminos Agile Max Fluoroscopy Unit. This critical upgrade will improve diagnostic precision, reduce radiation exposure, and enhance the patient experience.
“The new fluoroscopy equipment will allow us to deliver safer, faster, and more accurate imaging for a wide range of procedures,” said Jim Sabin, Director of Medical Imaging/Cardiology – Radiology. “Patients will benefit from improved comfort and lower radiation exposure, while the reliability of the updated technology will ensure uninterrupted care.”
Serving over 2,000 patients annually in the fluoroscopy suite, this upgrade will help Adirondack Health continue to provide exceptional and efficient care for years to come.
Annual giving is the lifeblood of Adirondack Health’s ability to adapt, grow, and provide the highest quality care to our community. Every contribution helps us acquire advanced equipment, improve facilities, and ensure access to the best treatments for our patients. Your generosity directly impacts lives, from enabling faster recoveries to ensuring safe and accurate diagnostics.
By supporting this year’s Together, We Can Elevate Health campaign, you’ll help bring these vital projects to life. Together, we can strengthen Adirondack Health’s ability to deliver innovative and compassionate care, ensuring a healthier future for everyone in our region.
