To insure a lasting legacy and appreciation for a beloved friend, Foundation Advisory
Board Member, and River Hospital Spokesman, River Hospital and Foundation made a
formal announcement on October 27th, to name the new operating room after Anthony
C. “Tony” Malara. Tony passed away on August 24, 2006, but left behind a notable
imprint on the success of River Hospital because of his devotion and hard work.
The total cost of River Hospital’s operating room project is approximately $1.5 million,
and will include relocation of other functions such as a nursing station and support
areas in order to create an ambulatory surgery suite that is maximally efficient and up-
to-date. The “new” Operating Room Suite features a complete renovation of the
previously utilized OR, with a significant expansion of support space including:
- A patient recovery area
- A family waiting area
- Significant upgrades to support functions, such as utility rooms, and workrooms.
- Equipment, ranging from anesthesia machines to individual surgical implements.
Initially the operating room will serve general surgery patients. The project is
anticipated to begin in November 2006 and is scheduled to open in April 2007. For the
first year of operation (remainder of 2007) approximately 570 patients will be served.
After the Ambulatory Surgical project is up to full speed, the hospital anticipates
serving at least 1,600 patients per year from a number of surgical services including
gynecology, ophthalmology, and other surgical specialties.
River Hospital Foundation has officially launched their End of the Year Appeal: The
Anthony C. “Tony” Malara Operating Room Campaign, which will strive to raise
$540,000 which is needed to complete the operating room project.
For more information on the Operating Room Project, please contact Ben Moore, River
Hospital CEO at 315-482-1135. For more information on River Hospital Foundation’s
fundraising efforts, please contact Lynn Dobbins, Executive Director at 315-482-4976.
“Tony was driven by a need to help others to try and make a difference. He loved
Northern New York and its people. Helping River Hospital became his mission and his
reward.” – Mary Malara
"Stepping into the Future"
Pavers are available in three sizes
6”x 6” (3 lines, 14 characters per row) $75
6”x 9” (4 lines, 14 characters per row) $150
12”x 12” (6 lines, 17 characters per row) $500
“Stepping into the Future” Together we can make our Operating Room a reality for the
Thousand Islands region. We ask you, our community, to pledge a donation to our
Foundation to ensure the Operating Room is possible. You may contribute by pledge,
or by purchasing a “Stepping Stone”. The stepping stone is a permanent reminder of
your participation in this project.
The walkway will be built using three different sizes of a Colonial Blend red-brick stone
that leads from the front drive of the Hospital on the river side towards the patio down
by the water. The three sizes are 6x6, 6x9, and 12x12.
The Anthony C. “Tony” Malara Operating Room construction is underway. The
walkway promotion that began in April will add to the success of our overall campaign.
We’re building more than an Operating Room. The restoring of the OR/Ambulatory
Procedures reflects the mission of River Hospital to provide appropriate services for
the surrounding communities.
