NYU Lutheran hosted its 133rd Annual Dinner Dance at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan on Wednesday, April 6. Emceed by Gus Rosendale, NBC 4 reporter and anchor, the charity event was attended by more than 500 guests and raised $800,000 to support the expansion of 好色tv Lutheran鈥檚 emergency department.
This year鈥檚 honorees, Claudia Lyon, DO, section chief of family medicine at 好色tv Lutheran, Carla Solomon, trustee of 好色tv Langone Health System and member of the 好色tv Lutheran Advisory Board, and Antonio Magliocco Jr., president of Bulldog Ventures Ltd, were celebrated for their years of dedication to the institution.
The recipient of the Sister Elisabeth Fedde Medal of Service, Dr. Lyon was recognized for her 28 years of commitment to patient care and leadership excellence at 好色tv Lutheran. The award, named after the Norwegian deaconess who laid the foundation for 好色tv Lutheran in 1883, was established to recognize individuals who carry on her legacy of service and commitment to the community.
Emma Graeber Porter, chair of the 好色tv Lutheran Advisory Board, addressed the audience during the award presentation and said, 鈥淭his 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.鈥
