The Gala brought together health care, business, and community leaders to celebrate UHF’s work to build a more effective health care system, and to honor three exceptional leaders for their contributions to hospitals and health care in New York:

• The Health Care Leadership Award was presented to Stanley Brezenoff, in recognition of his longstanding leadership to improve health and health care in New York.
• The Distinguished Community Service Award was presented to Debra G. Perelman, president and CEO of Revlon, Inc., for her role as co-founder and vice chair of the Child Mind Institute.
• A Special Tribute was presented to the Afya Foundation for its vital assistance to Puerto Rico and responses to crises worldwide. Danielle Butin, founder and executive director, accepted the award on the Foundation’s behalf.
