Dr. Jay Steinberg is honoring his mother’s legacy thanks to a charitable IRA with the Community Foundation. In 2003 Dr. Muriel Steinberg designated the Community Foundation as beneficiary for her IRA; she passed away at age 100 in 2020. She was a trailblazer when she graduated from medical school in Nebraska in the 1940s.
In her lifetime, she supported women’s causes, healthcare and the environment. Steinberg, the Chief Medical Officer at Emory University Hospital Midtown, aims to honor those causes and also be flexible to support emerging needs of the time, which includes a recent gift to the Atlanta Community Food Bank to support those facing hunger during the COVID-19 pandemic. “My mother was philanthropic during her life and had many causes she cared about,” Steinberg said. “I want to put this fund to work to fulfill her legacy and work with my own children to support causes important to them, continuing a family tradition of philanthropy.”
