ST. JOHN’S EPISCOPAL HOSPITAL
MEDICAL DONATION APPEAL
St. John’s Episcopal Hospital in Far
Rockaway is seeking donations to go
towards the purchase of equipment for
its new Women’s Health Center that is
scheduled to open in 2021.
SJEH intended to raise funds at its annual
golf event that was to occur this
summer, but the event was canceled
because of the pandemic. The hospital is
accepting donations on its website, ehs.
org/givenow, and is running a series of
online fundraisers.
“We invite anyone to make a donation
on the website,” said Nancy Leghart,
director of the foundation. “Donations
of any amount are greatly appreciated
and will go directly toward purchasing
essential, life-saving equipment.”
The Women’s Health Center will be
located at 105-38 Rockaway Beach Blvd.
and will provide gynecological and
obstetrical services, maternal fetal
medicine, urogynecology, gynecological
oncology, breast surgery, nutrition,
behavioral health, 3D mammography,
bone density, and ultrasound in one
location.
Donations will support the purchase of
state-of-the-art equipment including a
3D mammography machine that allows
physicians to see breast tissue details
more clearly to uncover breast cancer
that may have otherwise been hidden
by overlying breast tissue, a bone density
machine to measure women’s bone
density to diagnose for osteoporosis and
provide a fracture risk assessment, and
an ultrasound machine that produces
high-resolution image quality
The center will enhance access to women’s
health services in the Rockaways
while helping women achieve and
maintain optimal health. The Women's Health Center Building.
