Healthcare gala
This letter written to Pat Fry from Mark Hannay, director, thanking her for all the work she did to make this a successful event.
Thank you everyone for everything you did to make our online Annual Gala last evening such a success!
Nearly 100 people attended, we heard some inspiring and informative remarks, shared our appreciation of and love to honorees, and got ourselves ready for what lies ahead in 2022.
Special thanks to our honorees that were so inspiring:
- Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8), for governmental leadership
- Barbara Bowen (Professional Staff Congress CUNY) and Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez (New York State Nurses Association), for trade union leadership
- Mary Clark (Citizen Action of New York) and NY-4 Health Care Action, for community leadership
- Thanks also to Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine for bringing us up to date on the state of the pandemic in our city and what work lies ahead in that regard. In a phrase: “Rebuild, fund, pay attention to public health!”[1]
