Northern Light Mercy Hospital is pleased to welcome Aline Iskandar, MD and Adam Karpman, DO to Northern Light Mercy Cardiovascular Care in Portland. “We are excited to welcome Dr. Iskandar and Dr. Karpman to Mercy,” said Charlie Therrien, president of Mercy Hospital. “They will help us increase access to specialty care in the community, and the expertise of both cardiologists allows us to expand non-invasive services to include coronary CT imaging.” Coronary CT imaging is a diagnostic test that produces detailed images of the arteries of the heart. This non-invasive imaging technique provides valuable information about the presence and extent of coronary artery disease.

Your Legacy Gift Supports Mercy’s Future Care for Our Community Have you ever considered making a planned gift to support Northern Light Mercy Hospital? A planned gift is intended to be completed in the future. It can be part of one’s will, a life insurance policy designation, or any number of other options designed to meet the donor’s needs. Also, charitable giving may achieve income or estate tax savings for you. Recognizing the role Mercy Hospital plays in providing high-quality, compassionate care with a unique community focus, Dick Sawyer was eager to support the One Mercy capital campaign. As an advocate for planned giving, he looked to see how he might lend his support. An easy way to use life insurance to support your planned giving goals is to make Mercy Hospital the beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy. This could be a policy you own, that is no longer needed as part of your estate plan. Mercy could be the primary beneficiary of this policy or you could consider splitting the beneficiary with Mercy receiving a portion of the proceeds. It is important to discuss any options with your professional advisors. “In our case, using a fully paid-up life insurance policy was appropriate and achieves our goals as well as the long term needs of Mercy Hospital. Doing something now as well as providing funds in the future is a win-win!” Dick explains.
