This was followed by a humorous but heartfelt speech by president and CEO Mr. Bruce Flanz who welcomed guests and fondly shared his experiences working with the evening\u2019s honoree Thomas J. Santucci and Vice President of Nursing, Jacqueline Holley. \u00a0The crowd was moved to tears then cheers when Mr. Flanz recognized Jaqueline Holley who recently announced her retirement after 32 years of service to Jamaica Hospital and presented her with a Daum Crystal lotus flower. The lotus flower was symbolic of the virtues of a nurse; gentle, delicate and blooms from murky waters.<br \/>\n<!-- index.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview\n\t
