White Plains Hospital Recognizes Rivera Family

White Plains Hospital awarded Mariano Rivera, former baseball player for the New York Yankees, and his wife Clara with the inaugural Community Heroes Award for their dedication to the hospital. The couple was touched by the consideration shown to them by hospital staff during a personal experience with an ill family member. The award was presented by Susan Fox, president and CEO of White Plains Hospital, at the Friends of White Plains Hospital annual fall gala at the Brae Burn Country Club in Purchase. More than 450 people attended their celebration, which raised nearly $500,000 for hospital programs and services.
