The Henry O. Kandler, MD Lectureship Fund

In memory of Henry O. Kandler, MD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine is proud to establish the annual Henry O. Kandler, MD Lectureship in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.

Dr. Kandler, a psychiatrist and medical educator, first joined the Einstein community in the 1950s as a resident at Bronx Municipal Hospital Center (now Jacobi Hospital Center). As a recognized leader in the field of psychiatry, “Hank” had a remarkable passion for his profession, maintaining a private practice in Manhattan and serving as a teacher, mentor, and program director at Einstein.

Please consider honoring the memory and legacy of our generous and distinguished colleague and friend, who gave so much to trainees, patients, and families, with your most generous gift today.

** We are excited to announce that an anonymous donor will match the next $25,000 in donations 1:1, doubling your gift—and its impact. **

Endowed fund administration: Einstein follows the terms of the New York Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (“NYPMIFA”), which allows Einstein to expend amounts from its endowment funds even when market values decline below the endowment funds’ historic dollar values. The College would act prudently in determining the amount to so expend, taking into account several factors enumerated in NYPMIFA such as the purpose and preservation of the fund, the needs of the institution, general economic conditions, expected earnings, and the availability of other resources. No changes would be made as to how the funds are to be used.
