The Greenwich Hospital Board of Trustees and Campaign Leadership Council recently welcomed supporters and friends to the hospital’s annual benefit at Greenwich Country Club Sept. 27, celebrating milestone investments by community members in the Arc of Care Campaign.
“Last year, we publicly launched our Arc of Care Campaign, noting our $125 million fundraising goal to advance the future of our growing hospital. This evening, I am thrilled to inform you that we have surpassed $82 million toward the attainment of this goal,” said Greenwich Hospital Board Chair W. Robert Berkley Jr. as he addressed more than 350 event attendees.
The campaign, the first for the hospital in nearly two decades, has propelled expansion within five key areas: behavioral health, children’s health, heart and vascular, neuroscience and oncology. The multiyear fundraising initiative ensures that patients will continue to benefit from the expertise found locally, coupled with the innovation in research, new technologies and treatments that encompass Yale New Haven Health and Yale School of Medicine.
In a historic moment, Greenwich residents Icy and Scott Frantz were honored with the inaugural Greenwich Hospital Luminate Health and Medicine Award.
“The Board of Trustees and leadership of Greenwich Hospital were delighted to present the first-ever Luminate Health and Medicine Award to Icy and Scott Frantz in recognition of their invaluable partnership, visionary leadership and transformational philanthropy,” said Noël Appel, Greenwich Hospital senior vice president and chief development officer.
Greenwich Hospital President Diane P. Kelly, DNP, RN, presented the evening’s Physician Honoree awards to Neonatologist Shruti Gupta, M.D., and ob/gyn Romelle Maloney, M.D., who have both devoted their careers to the betterment of children, women and families.
Gupta is the medical director of Greenwich Hospital’s NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), a neonatologist at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital, and an associate professor of pediatrics at the Yale School of Medicine.
Maloney, a community ob/gyn for more than 30 years, is medical director for the Westchester-Greenwich Region of Northeast Medical Group, which is part of Yale New Haven Health, and a staff physician at Greenwich Hospital.
