An Evening of Reflection and Recommitment
United Hospital Fund’s Gala brings together health care, business, and community leaders to support our work to build an effective and equitable health care system for every New Yorker — and to honor exceptional individuals for their efforts to improve health and health care. Three awards are presented annually: the Health Care Leadership Award, the Distinguished Community Service Award, and a Special Tribute.
To watch a recording of the 2021 Gala, see here; to view the accompanying journal, see here.
