LEWIS STEINBERG is very proud of his wife , CHARLOTTE, who recently was honored by the North York General Hospital’s Foundation of Toronto, Canada. She was one of 10 women chosen to be celebrated as either volunteers, leaders, or philanthropists. They all have helped shape the hospital as it is today– a beacon of care. Terry Pursell, President and CEO of the Foundation, chose this theme as she spent her entire career in the charitable sector. She was fortunate to have met many independent, strong women. Women who have the uncanny gift to empower and inspire those around them through both words and deeds. She chose Charlotte as the Visionary as behind the family name of Steinberg, she stands as a visionary philanthropist who

changed the course of care for an entire community. For close to twenty years, Charlotte quietly and with love gave back to a hospital she experienced as a patient. She was a former radiology technician and knew the level of care was unique. She wanted to help others and build the hospital to where it is today– a recognized leader in genetics, breast care and emergency services.” The Steinberg contributions have been many and most generous and it all started with one woman’s vote of confidence in our hospital”, says Terry. Charlotte says, “It’s important to acknowledge the role that women play in hospitals and fund raising. We give, we serve on boards, we volunteer. I am thrilled to see these efforts recognized.” She also thinks (as is written on the photograph depicted above): “I think women really are the ones behind many important decisions.” Charlotte muses, as she begins to reflect on the question of women’s role in philanthropy, “Just don’t tell the men.”
