Newburgh, NY – St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital announces that Steve Lieberstein of Newburgh has been named Development Officer. With over eight years fund-raising experience, Lieberstein brings to his position specific expertise in donor research, major gift solicitation and nonprofit management. Most recently, Lieberstein served as the Director of Resource Development and Community Outreach for the Sullivan County Community College Foundation.

In welcoming Lieberstein to SLCH, Vice President of Government Affairs and Foundation Sue Sullivan said, “Steve’s extensive experience and involvement in civic organizations create a win/win situation for the community and the hospital.” “It’s clear, simple and

important,” said Sullivan. “Steve’s fund-raising efforts for our hospital will improve our facility, which each of us in the community will, at some point, need.”
