In the 1920s, Saranac Lake General Hospital was at the forefront of surgical care, pioneering techniques to help patients with tuberculosis. Nearly a century later, surgical innovation continues at Adirondack Health, where philanthropy drives new operating room technology, advanced procedures, and life-changing care.

🗓️ On March 11, 1913, the Saranac Lake General Hospital opened its doors for the very first time with just 12 patient beds.

The very first patient? A young mother, who welcomed the hospital’s first baby just nine days later.

From that day forward, neighbors caring for neighbors has been at the heart of our story. Today, we carry that same spirit.

Honor our anniversary by making a gift today. Your support helps ensure that quality, local care continues for generations to come. https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/adirondack-health-foundation/marchforhealth

Now, a well-child visit comes with something extra, a book to take home. 📚

Thanks to a grant from Adirondack for Kids, we’re placing age-appropriate books directly into the hands of children and families 👩‍👧‍👦

As Director of Pediatrics Darci Beiras, MD, shares: “These types of programs allow us to support children’s development beyond the exam room. By encouraging families to read together and providing books during well-child visits, we are helping build strong foundations for learning, connection, and lifelong health."

Pictured are Dr. Darci Beiras and RN Kristi Tarbox with some of the books provided by Adirondack for Kids.

The Saranac Lake General Hospital and the Placid Memorial Hospital were both born from generosity. Neighbors came together with a shared belief that every community deserves access to care.

From those first days to today's Adirondack Health, philanthropy has always been the cornerstone of local healthcare. That same spirit of generosity continues to shape our future.
