Highland Hospital Foundation Awards Mark Eidlin with its Highest Honor
Friday, January 27, 2017
The Highland Hospital Foundation announces that Mark Eidlin is the recipient of the 2017 Heritage Award. Eidlin, a long-time member of the Highland Hospital Board and the Highland Hospital Foundation Board, received the award at a ceremony at the Genesee Valley Club on Thursday, January 26.
The Heritage Award is the highest honor given by The Highland Hospital Foundation for philanthropic contributions. It honors a person or organization that plays a significant role at Highland Hospital and in our community through their time, talent and financial support.
Eidlin, Senior Vice President at Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. in Pittsford joined the Foundation Board in 1998 and served as Chair for the past six years. The Pittsford resident has also served as the co-chair of the annual Highland Hospital Gala and is active in the community.
“Mark Eidlin is a champion for Highland and his work on behalf of the hospital, our patients and our community is truly inspiring,” said Ned Nicosia, DDS, current Chair of the Highland Foundation Board. “He is well-deserving of the Heritage Award.”
The award is particularly meaningful to Eidlin, who has also been a patient at Highland. “The definition of a great community is how we educate and take care of one another,” he said. “Nobody does a better job at making our community a better place to live than Highland. If you have a desire to make a difference, and in your own way make Rochester a better place, then Highland can give you that platform as a staff member or a volunteer.”
Past recipients of The Heritage Award include Dr. David Sischy, Linda Maxion, the Honorable Thomas & Betty Richards, Eileen Grossman, and Dr. Eva Pressman and Dr. Seth Zeidman.
