From the Desk of David W. Lundquist,
President and CEO:
HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley®
(HAHV) was created in March 2009, which
now includes the Kingston and Benedictine
Hospitals, along with the Margaretville
Hospital, Mountainside Residential Care
Center and Woodland Pond at New Paltz.
The Alliance would not have been possible without the
extraordinary courage, support, and leadership of the HAHV
Board of Directors, an exceptionally qualified medical staff
and nurses, and the commitment and dedication of the entire
hospital team. As we celebrate our second anniversary and
reflect on progress made during the first two years, we have
successfully streamlined operations with significant cost
reduction, eliminated service duplication, and improved the
community's overall quality of care.
Thanks to the HEAL funding, we consolidated our services
and nursing units and completed 15 construction projects, the
most significant of which was the consolidation of Emergency
Services into the Kingston Hospital Emergency Services. It
features the only accredited Chest Pain Center in the Hudson
Valley, along with a certified Stroke Center, a 64-Slice CT scanner,
and a Fast Track Unit to speed up wait times for patients with
minor ailments.
Our planned growth will be a boon to our quality and access.
We are committed to the implementation of the Electronic
Health Record information system as mandated by the Health
Information Technology for Economic and Clinical (HITEC)
Act in 2009.
We also have some exciting program enhancements happening this year at Benedictine Hospital. A new Infusion Therapy
Center, Pre-Surgical Testing Area (PST) and a state-of-the-art,
consolidated Center for Breast Health are being constructed
with support from the Benedictine Health Foundation.
On the Kingston Hospital campus, planning has been
underway to introduce Interventional Cardiology services to
the newly consolidated and upgraded Emergency Department
and ICU. For example, some heart attack patients in Ulster
County currently have to travel out of the area for a life-saving
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). This will provide
better patient outcomes and bolster our accredited Chest Pain
Center, one of nine in the entire state. This new service will
be funded by a capital campaign by The Kingston Hospital
Foundation.
As we are challenged with continually shrinking reimbursement, the strength of our respective hospital foundations
will play an even greater role with our success. We are fortunate
to have exceptionally strong hospital foundations that have
generously supported each of the hospitals over the years.
We extend our deepest appreciation for your generosity. And
should you need our help in the future, we will be there as
your partner in health.
The HealthAlliance
Cardiology
Department
T
he HealthAlliance Cardiology Department
provides a full range of inpatient and outpatient cardiac services, from diagnostic testing
and treatments to cardiac rehabilitation.

catheterization lab currently provides diagnostic catheterization
and, in the future, The Kingston Hospital will offer cardiac interventional procedures to the community. For additional information,

From our
The Foundation has been serving
The Kingston Hospital for 29
years. During the past ten years,
The Foundation has distributed
over $5 million for improved
hospital facilities, technology and
services. Thank you to all those
who have supported The Kingston
Hospital Foundation mission.
During the past ten years,
major hospital improvements
supported by capital campaigns
have focused on the women’s
health center, the new ED,
expanded ICU, new dialysis center
on Albany Avenue, and the family
birth place. The Foundation
board of directors and staff are
looking forward to the Hospitals’
next major initiative which will
focus on expanding the Health
Alliance cardiac care services.
The Foundation campaign
committee will be communicating
information on the expanded
cardiology services and the
fund-raising needs for the project.
This major project will be taking
place during the second half of
this year and we will keep you
updated on its progress.
As I enter my 12th year as
Executive Director, I look forward
to working with the Foundation
board, community leaders,
business owners, HealthAlliance
employees, physicians and
volunteers on achieving our
fund-raising goals for 2011.
Your partnership in creating
quality healthcare programs
and services in Ulster County
and the surrounding communities
is greatly appreciated.
As chair of The Kingston
Hospital Foundation, I would
like to thank the community—
individuals, businesses, hospital
staff and physicians—for their
support of the 2010 annual fund
which raised over $115,000
for the wound care, diabetes
and dialysis centers—all vital
services for our friends and
their families.
I am pleased to be associated
with The Kingston Hospital
Foundation and proud to support
its mission. The Foundation
was established to raise funds
in support of the hospital. Its
purpose is to obtain charitable
contributions, manage those
gifts and disburse them. The
Foundation board of directors
provides leadership and guidance to the Foundation and
is comprised of members from
the community.
As chair of the board,
I will ensure our development
efforts remain focused on
raising funds through community
campaigns, special events,
direct mail solicitations, planned
giving programs, bequests
and memorial donations. This
support provides the resources
necessary for The Kingston
Hospital to provide state-of-the-art
technology to enhance patient
care, offer new programs and
services, and undertake building
expansions and renovations.

Grant Supports
Expansion of
Translation Services
T
he Kingston Hospital Foundation Board of
Directors would like to thank the Dyson
Foundation for a multi-year grant to expand
the translation services at the HealthAlliance
hospitals.
Committee members assisting in the implementation of the new translation
services program include (L to R):
Standing: Steffen Kraehmer, Foundation Executive Director;
Joseph Marsicovete, HealthAlliance Chief Quality Officer
Sitting: Dawn Greer, HealthAlliance Language Assistance Program Coordinator;
Sr. Gabrielle Keenen, OSB, Director of Quality and Performance Improvement
The Dyson Foundation, founded by Charles and Margaret Dyson
in 1957, works toward improving people’s lives through grant
funding, promoting philanthropy, and strengthening the capacity
of nonprofit organizations. The Dyson Foundation’s current grant
making includes a significant grants program in the Mid-Hudson
Valley of New York State that seeks to improve the quality of life
in the region, create opportunities and support for economically
disadvantaged individuals and families, and strengthen the
nonprofit sector.
HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley is pleased to announce it
has retained the healthcare translation services of Cyracom, LLC.
Patients can now be connected to a trained medical interpreter
in 15 seconds or less, who will then conduct a conversation
between them and a healthcare provider. If a patient has a medical
document in another language, it can be electronically submitted to
Cyracom for translation. The service is provided free of charge. 

children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren at the
Benedictine and Kingston Hospitals, by adding your family
name to either the Family Legacy Panel or a Gold Leaf to the
Tree of Life.
Your donation will help The Family Birth Place continue

Foundation Donates $500,000
to Kingston Hospital Emergency
Department Expansion
T
he new Kingston Hospital Emergency Room has been receiving patients for a few months
now, and already the 8,000-foot expansion—nearly triple the former space—is making a
difference in the quality of care and the efficiency of service patients are receiving. We’d like
to share two stories with our donors from recent Emergency Department patients:
Mary & Emily:
This past summer, Emily suffered from a fairly bad stomach virus.
When it didn’t pass on its own and she couldn’t get any liquids
down, Emily became very dehydrated. Her mother, Mary, brought
her into the Kingston Hospital ED after a recommendation from the
family physician.
At this point, Emily was very weak and not in a good state.
When they arrived in the ED at 4:30 in the afternoon, the room was
very busy, and the general expectation of ‘we’re going to be waiting
forever’ took hold.
Fortunately, their experience was exactly the opposite. They
were immediately taken through triage, assessed, and Emily began
receiving treatment just as quickly. Staff was professional and
compassionate, and the ER Tech was especially reassuring and
comforting—to both Emily and Mary. Said Mary, afterward, “I would
recommend The Kingston Hospital to anyone.”
Advanced Care
The new Emergency Department improvements have advanced
our care and service by leaps and bounds. With the latest in
technology, board-certified emergency physicians available 24/7,
faster admission procedures and 30-minutes or under wait times,
The Kingston Hospital ED is more efficient and effective than ever.
Frank & Michelle:
”If it wasn’t for the staff at the Kingston Emergency Department,
my husband wouldn’t be here today.”
Very early one morning, Frank woke Michelle and said, ‘I think I
need to go to the hospital.’ What they found out later was Frank’s
kidneys had failed and, because they weren’t working, his body
was poisoning itself.
There is very little time to react with kidney failure. When they
got to the Emergency Room, staff triaged him and brought Frank
into a bed immediately, where he suddenly flat-lined and had to be
resuscitated and ventilated.
“It’s not very often that someone gets a second chance at life,”
Michelle recounts. “If it wasn't for the staff at the Kingston Emergency
Department, my husband wouldn’t be here today.”
To Our Donors
We would like to thank you for your continued support of The
Kingston Hospital Foundation. This is just one of the many ways
your gift helps us make a real difference.

Campaign, raising over one and a half million dollars
for the construction of the West Wing, which opened
in 1986. He was named trustee emeritus of the Hospital
in 1987 and was the first honoree of the Hospital Tulip
Ball in 1990.

The Diabetes Education Center:
The Center provides educational
tools and support to children
and adults with Type 1, Type 2,
Gestational, and Pre-Diabetes.
In addition, the Center offers
a 4-class series designed
to cover the different aspects
of the disease and to provide
participants the knowledge and
lifestyle management skills that
will help them live healthy lives,
free of additional complications.
Kingston Hospital's Diabetes
Education Center has been
recognized by the American
Diabetes Association for offering
quality self-management diabetes
education and meeting its high
educational standards.
“The support group is very helpful.
It reminds me to keep on track with
portion control. Thanks to the staff,
each time I learn new ideas to help me.”
– Evelyn Ness
The Wound Healing Center:
Located in the Medical Arts
Building, the Center offers both
inpatients and outpatients a
path to recovery with a comprehensive approach to healing
the wound and the cause from
a specialized team of health
professionals accredited in
wound care management.
A complete spectrum of healing
treatments are available to the
patient, including a Hyperbaric
Oxygen Chamber, located in
The Kingston Hospital, adjacent
to the Center. This non-surgical,
non-invasive healing therapy
stimulates cell growth and healthy
tissue through the inhalation of
pure oxygen.
“I was fortunate to learn about the
Wound Healing Center...I was a regular
visitor to the Center for nearly two
months while they worked on healing
my wound. I am truly grateful for the
health care I received.”
– William Marx
The Dialysis Center:
Nationwide, nearly 24 million
people age 20 and older have
developed Chronic Kidney
Disease (CKD)—about 14 percent
of the population. When the
progression of CKD leads to
End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD),
or kidney failure, the only options
available for survival are transplants or dialysis.
The Kingston Hospital Dialysis
Center maintains 30 hemodialysis stations, comprehensive
nephrology care, and a full staff
of dietary, educational, clinical,
technical, and psychosocial
consult support staff for both
inpatient and outpatient services.
The Dialysis Center is an
essential, life-sustaining health
service that changes lives.
Note: Your financial support offers lifechanging health services to hundreds
of patients and families annually. The
Foundation is grateful to all individuals
and businesses that focus on the health
needs of Ulster County and surrounding
communities.
