2022 United Hospital Fund Gala

An Evening Celebrating Leadership, Vision, and Commitment

The UHF Gala brings together health care, community, and business 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. This year UHF will also honor Anthony Shih, MD, with a Farewell Tribute.
