Leadership happens when individuals seize the moment and show others the path to a greater good. Certainly, leadership was demonstrated when the physician partners at the Endoscopy Center at St. Mary pledged a major gift to the St. Mary Medical Center Capital Campaign, Expanding on Excellence, Your Health, Your Hospital.
Drs. John Volpe, Anne-Marie Marcoux and Richard Goldstein led their partners Drs. Salowe, Barash, Kravitz and Modena to become one of the first medical groups to make a donation. Through the Expanding on Excellence Campaign, the group saw an opportunity to help the hospital further its mission in an important way. It was, in Dr. Marcoux’s words, a group decision to say “thank you” to a medical center whose leadership has recognized the needs of physicians by creating a medical environment that better serves the needs of the patients.
“The Endoscopy Center has enhanced the way we practice medicine,” explained Dr. Volpe. “We can give better care to the patient because we have the tools and state of the art technology to do so.” “St. Mary is a good friend professionally and a strong pillar of the community,” Dr. Goldstein added. “We see ourselves as partners in the process and recognize the philanthropic efforts St. Mary makes in the community through the work they do at the Mother Bachmann Maternity Center and other outreach programs in Bensalem.” And they also see St. Mary worthy of their philanthropic support.
Having worked with other hospitals, they are incredibly impressed by the leadership, transparencies, and stewardship of a well-run organization. Drs. Volpe, Goldstein and Marcoux are trailblazers in their support for this Capital Campaign. Separately, they each made the exact same statement, that St. Mary Medical Center has provided them with the center and equipment which then allows them to practice their profession to their own high standards. With the direction of healthcare moving towards larger, more comprehensive organizations, they believe that as the leader in healthcare in Bucks County, St. Mary is the place to be.
“The ultimate winner is the patient and the community we serve,” said Dr. Volpe. “St. Mary has generously given us resources, and for that, we are pleased to reciprocate with our support.”
