Our estate planning committee is comprised of 50 advisors who are
committed to the mission of the North Shore-LIJ Health System
Foundation. These men and women are respected professionals in their
fields of accounting, law, and financial planning who are willing to
provide assistance in achieving the gift planning mission.
The committee meets 4-6 times annually to review sophisticated gift planning topics,
receive updates on the health system, and discuss
relevant matters across disciplines. Meeting locations vary across Long
Island.
Members are encouraged to support and be advocates of the health system
for their clients and the greater community.
North Shore-LIJ Foundation Mission: To serve the best interest
of the community at-large and the Health System by providing the
inspiration, opportunity, and meaningful direction for donors, patients,
and leaders to link their vision, dreams, and philanthropic support
with our most worthy causes from the underserved and uninsured to the
latest frontiers in medical technology and research.
Gift Planning Mission: To secure valuable current revocable
and deferred gifts and commitments of future gifts in furtherance of the
North Shore-LIJ Health System Foundation’s mission. Planned gifts are
valuable to meet both immediate and long-range needs, and to enable a
broader group of benefactors to make more significant gifts than they
otherwise would solely through outright gifts.

Estate Planning Committee Members Beverly Bell, Tricia Marcin,
