- Radiology
- Pulmonology
- Pre-Natal Care
- Ambulatory Care
- Emergency Medicine
- Pre-hospital Care Services
- Bariatric Surgery
- Robotic Surgery
- Hospice
The gala was hosted later on that evening at the Mudan Banquet Hall, where more than 300 guests dined on gourmet Asian Cuisines.
Among this year’s honorees was Flushing Hospital’s very own Executive VP and Chief Operating Officer, Robert Levine, who received the ACAP Professional Achievement Award and Catherine Ferrari, RN, Administrator for Professional Services, who received ACAP Community Service Award.
Flushing Hospital Medical Center values its partnership with Association of Chinese American Physicians and looks forward to future collaborations.
