PHILADELPHIA — Einstein Healthcare Network, a leading
regional healthcare provider, announces the receipt of a $7.5 million gift from
The Karabots Foundation, a not for profit corporation formed by Nicholas and
Athena Karabots with one of its missions being to provide readily accessible
medical facilities and resultant care for those living in underserved
communities. In grateful appreciation of the extraordinary generosity displayed
by Mr. and Mrs. Karabots, Einstein will name the renovated medical office
building located at 1330 Powell Street in Norristown, Pennsylvania in their
honor as The Nicholas and Athena Karabots Medical Building. In addition, the
diagnostic center at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery will be renamed The
Nicholas and Athena Karabots Diagnostic Center.
Nicholas and Athena Karabots believe in assisting specific
institutions whose programs serve both the young and elderly in disadvantaged
communities within both the greater Philadelphia community and throughout the
United States. Their impassioned determination to use their resources to the
benefit of so many is evident in this gift presented to Einstein Healthcare
Network – which will ultimately benefit residents in Norristown and others in
the surrounding communities.
Mr. Karabots stated: “The Karabots Foundation has endeavored
over the years to bring better health and youth related programs to serve not
only Norristown but also the surrounding communities with some of its earlier
achievements reflected in its support of Montgomery Hospital and that
facility’s expansion of services via The Karabots Foundation’s programs. We are
extremely pleased that Einstein Montgomery has committed to retain and expand
the medical services available at the Medical Office Building on Powell Street.
Additionally, we recognize that Einstein Montgomery has invested heavily to
bring a much broader level of medical capabilities and resultant care for the
residents of Norristown and the surrounding communities at its newly
established Einstein Medical Center Montgomery on Germantown Pike in East
Norriton. Our recent support is based on the longer term commitment that
Einstein Montgomery has made by upgrading the Powell Street facility and
expanding those medical services while bringing to the community the additional
capabilities for which Einstein Healthcare Network is well noted.”
“We commend Nicholas and Athena Karabots for their
longstanding commitment to the communities we serve,” said Barry R. Freedman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Einstein Healthcare Network. “Einstein
is proud to be a part of their legacy as we work to expand our reach and
provide quality access to healthcare throughout the region.”
Upon completion of its renovation, The Nicholas and Athena
Karabots Medical Building will continue to serve as a valued resource to
residents in Norristown, providing outpatient healthcare services for the
entire family, from newborns to senior citizens. The Nicholas and Athena
Karabots Diagnostic Center at Einstein Montgomery offers the full range of
advanced diagnostic testing services that includes cardiology, neurodiagnostics,
radiology, laboratory and respiratory testing. This generous gift will also
enable Einstein Montgomery to continue to deliver the latest technology in
cancer treatment with the Varian linear accelerator located in The Karabots
Radiation Oncology Center in the Minerva D. Braemer Medical Arts Building on
the Einstein Medical Center Montgomery campus.
“The Karabots have long been supporters of Montgomery
Hospital Medical Center and we’re grateful that they have continued their
support here at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery,” said Beth Duffy, Chief
Operating Officer at Einstein Montgomery. “Their commitment to providing access
to quality care to all mirrors our mission and this gift will directly impact
our ability to further our reach in the community.”
