Meet Our Donors

Over the years, Dr. Silverstein has remained connected to Einstein, and has maintained a particular affinity to his alma mater, which he credits for his successful career. As such he has left a bequest in his will to support a scholarship for an Einstein medical or graduate student.

Dr. Schapiro recently made a generous planned gift to Einstein, specifically designed to create a scholarship for a student from southern California who is traditionally underrepresented in medicine.

Janet and Marty Spatz have a long-term affection for the Bronx and a deep connection to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where they have been generous donors to cancer research for 20 years.

Suzanne (Sue) Fried, MD '64 was just 12 when her father died, but seven decades later, her eyes still well up when she talks about him.

"He was an amazing man. He'd come from Ukraine and gone to university and then medical school at NYU, where he was second in his class. He refused to serve in the Army in World War II, so he was assigned to the Veterans Administration, and we lived all over the place — New York, Texas, Kentucky."

Hal and Deb have ensured that Bronx HOPE will continue empowering students from underserved backgrounds to achieve their dreams in medicine and public health.
