LET’S DANCE

Dancers aged 7 to 93 entertained guests, Oct. 24, at The Hilton Pearl River during the annual United Hospice Let”™s Dance gala that featured an evening of elegant dining and dancing.

United Hospice offers families in Rockland and Orange counties dealing with serious illness assistance in caring for the patient”™s physical demands while also addressing the family”™s emotional, social and spiritual needs and providing access to information so that families can make informed choices about care when time matters most.

For the first time in two years United Hospice”™s executive board, staff, friends and supporters were able to gather in person for a fun and festive evening celebrating the service they”™ve been able to provide patients and their families during the last two years.

An awards presentation honored supportive members, including Kevin Mahoney, managing director, The Mahoney Group; Brad Topchick, managing director, Stifel; Kevin Ward, retired financial advisor, while The Dr. Joe and Marsha Rand Community Leadership Award was presented to community member Chris Cawley of the NW Hospice Charity Fund.  Honorary Chair Tess McCormack Raso summed up the meaning of hospice stating, “When modern medicine can no longer add days to your life hospice adds life to your days”¦.”

With offices located at 11 Stokum Lane in New City and 42 Park Place in Goshen, United Hospice provides an enhanced quality of life to people of all ages suffering from serious illnesses.
