South Nassau Receives $1.75 Million from Feil Family Foundation
--Major Gift Supports Plan to Establish On-Campus Comprehensive Cancer Center
Oceanside, NY – The Louis Feil Charitable Lead Annuity Trust has made a $1.75 million
donation to South Nassau Communities Hospital to help relocate the hospital’s cancer program
to a centralized comprehensive cancer center that will be based on the hospital’s main campus in
Oceanside (NY).
The donation is the largest single gift the hospital received in 2018 and the largest single
year gift to South Nassau by the Feil Family Foundation. The donation is in support of South
Nassau’s plan to consolidate all cancer services at the Oceanside campus.
“I thank the Feil family for their generosity and steadfast commitment to help us improve
cancer care for the residents of Long Island’s South Shore,” said Richard J. Murphy, President
and CEO at South Nassau.
The Feil family of Rockville Centre has gifted more than $8.45 million to South Nassau
in the past several years. This includes a $3 million donation to South Nassau in the spring of
2011 that supported the continued growth and expansion of the Gertrude & Louis Feil Cancer
Center and a $1.5 million dollar donation made last year also in benefit of the cancer program
consolidation plan.
South Nassau plans to expand its cancer programs with its new partner, the Mount Sinai
Health System. In 2018, the program added services for liver (hepatobiliary) cancer and
expanded its staff of medical oncologists. An infusion center also was opened at the Oceanside
hospital’s main campus. With South Nassau’s recent partnership with Mount Sinai, the Center is
now aligned with the Tisch Cancer Institute, which is one of only 70 National Cancer Institute-
designated centers in the country. Patients now will have access to cutting edge clinical trials and
leading physicians.
