On Wednesday, September 9, 2015, Flushing Hospital Medical Center held its annual dinner dance, Celebration 2015, at Leonard’s of Great Neck.
Each year, the event grows with overwhelming support from the hospital’s administrators and employees, as well as members of the community.
This year, President and CEO, Bruce J. Flanz welcomed nearly 500 guests to the venue and spoke with great enthusiasm about this year’s honorees. Each honoree was chosen because of their devotion and contributions to Flushing Hospital.
As the honorees names were announced, those in attendance stood up and cheered in celebration of their achievements. This year’s nominee’s included Mr. John R. Buran, President and CEO of Flushing Bank, Hillary Lewis, FHMC Clinical Nurse Manager and Dr. Robert Slepoy, Chairman, Department of Anesthesiology.
Each honoree spoke about the special place Flushing Hospital held in their hearts; perhaps honoree, Dr. Robert Slepoy, summed up the evening best when he stated, “During my Residency, it was recommended to me that I pursue my career at a community based hospital due to the special care you are able to give each patient. I found that community hospital at Flushing and have never regretted my choice.”
