Dining & dancing
New York University Lutheran Medical Center hosted its 133rd annual dinner dance over the river in Manhattan at Chelsea Piers on April 6. The event, emceed by NBC 4 reporter Gus Rosendale, welcomed more than 500 guests and raised $800,000 for the emergency department.
Accolades were bestowed to Claudia Lyon, DO, section chief of family medicine; Carla Solomon, trustee of NYU Langone Health System and member of the NYU Lutheran Advisory Board; and Antonio Magliocco Jr., president of Bulldog Ventures Ltd, for their years of dedication to the institution.
Dr. Lyon was also recognized with the Sister Elisabeth Fedde Medal of Service for her 28 years of commitment to patient care and leadership excellence. The award, named after the Norwegian deaconess who laid the foundation for NYU Lutheran in 1883, was established to recognize individuals who carry on her legacy of service and commitment to the community.
As she presented the awards, Emma Graeber Porter, chairwoman of the Advisory Board, said, “This is our time, and it is the opportunity for us to really live out the dream that was envisioned for this hospital 133 years ago.”
Standing O offers congratulations on the success of the dinner/dance, and wishes the hospital many more years of exemplary service to the borough.
