On Saturday, November 16th Jamaica Hospital Medical Center celebrated the important milestone of serving the community for 128 years. The momentous occasion was commemorated at the hospital’s annual Rainbow Ball dinner-dance and fundraiser which took place at the Queens Museum. Over 600 guests were in attendance.
The Rainbow Ball is an opportunity for supporters of Jamaica Hospital to celebrate its accomplishments and raise funds for future projects. This year’s honorees were the men and women who are on the frontline every day protecting and caring for people in times of need, New York City’s First Responders. Representatives of the NYPD Patrol Borough Queens South, FDNY Division 13, FDNY – EMS Division 4, and Jamaica Hospital Pre-Hospital Care Department were recognized for their invaluable service to the community.
Hospital President and CEO Bruce J. Flanz commenced the evening by welcoming everyone and noting how proud we were to be honoring the first responders.
For the remainder of the evening, guests enjoyed a delicious dinner and danced to lively music. The fun carried on during the raffle and grand prize drawing where contestants had the opportunity to win a trip to Hawaii and other fantastic gifts.
In all the 128th Anniversary Rainbow Ball was a great success and we thank those who continue to support Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in our endeavors.
