Upstate Legacy Society

The Upstate Legacy Society honors donors who have chosen to include Upstate in their estate plans. Members of the Society come from all walks of life. They are school bus drivers, engineers, teachers, business executives, nurses, doctors and retired faculty. These generous and forward thinking donors share the common goal of ensuring Upstate’s ability to provide exemplary patient care, conduct world-class research, and attract and retain the very best students, faculty and staff. As well as impact the health and well-being of our community.

Upstate Legacy Society holds a virtual gathering

The Upstate Legacy Society’s annual gathering was held virtually again this year and featured special guests Mantosh Dewan, MD, president of Upstate Medical University, and Sharon Brangman, MD, chair of the Department of Geriatrics, distinguished service professor and director of the Upstate Center for Excellence for Alzheimer’s Disease. Dr. Dewan noted that while it was a challenging year for Upstate due to the pandemic, there were many exciting accomplishments, and recognition at the state and national levels. Dr. Brangman gave an update on the Alzheimer’s center, noting that a satellite office opened at Upstate Community Hospital, two new doctors joined her team and “OrthoCoCares” will be coming soon. In 2023, the Center will move to the Nappi Wellness Institute, which she described as a “one-stop shop for geriatric assessment.”

Life and Legacy

Donors used a variety of planned giving options to create their personal legacy gift with the Upstate Foundation. Legacy gifts are coming from bequests, IRAs, life insurance and charitable trusts, helping to grow funds and endowments to create a perpetual stream of support. Each legacy gift provides a meaningful and lasting impact on the people and communities served by Upstate.
