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.
