ANNUAL CAMPAIGN* - ILLUMINATE YOUR SOUL!
*The Annual Campaign and the Sustaining Contributor Campaign have been merged. There has been some confusion about this, so we wanted to clarify this.
PRESIDIUM MESSAGE AND ANNUAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE
February is Heart Health Awareness Month. Here's a dose of reality: 500,000 women in the US die of heart
disease every year – double the number of deaths from all types of cancer. Hadassah urges all women to do what
they can to live heart healthy lives.
Our Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO) has been a forerunner in cardiac
milestones for decades. Some examples: 1964 - 1st hospital in Israel to perform double bypass surgery 1986 - 1st successful heart transplant in Israel 2010 - Twins delivered to heart transplant Mom - 1st in Israel 2012 - The Linda Joy Pollin Cardiovascular Wellness Institute dedicated to promote heart health in Women
Your generous gifts over the years sustained Hadassah and
the ongoing progress and developments in our hospitals. You are THE Heart of Hadassah! Give genrously to the Hadassah Rochester "Illuminate Your Soul" Annual Campaign and keep the beat going. See your November campaign mailing or send your check to Toby Berke, 119 Daley Blvd., Rochester, NY 14617.
