Hebrew Health Care Celebrates 110 Years and Installs New Officers and Trustees

Hebrew Health Care hosted its Annual Meeting and Installation Event on October 16, 2013. With Board Members, management staff and special community guests in attendance, Hebrew Health Care celebrated the organization’s events, programs and relationships that we have formed in our history of caring for Greater Hartford’s elderly. Attendees enjoyed a lovely cocktail reception with scrumptious hors d’oeuvres before the meeting commenced.  

The program included opening remarks from Outgoing Chairman, Richard Rubenstein; message by President and CEO, Bonnie B. Gauthier; installation of Board Members and Officers, along with an awards ceremony. Hebrew Health Care Board Member Richard C. Robinson was recognized with the Georgette Koopman Trustee Award for Excellence for his service and leadership in HHC’s fundraising efforts. Staff recognition through the Elaine Gollis Employee Award for Excellence was presented to Sub-acute Unit Secretary Becky Gibson for her exemplary performance and work ethic. 

In addition, HHC recognized two staff members who recently celebrated their 50th service anniversaries, Sarah Gamble and Vere Haynes. The 2013 Annual Meeting at Hebrew Health Care marked the installation of its new Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Ross Hollander by LeadingAge Connecticut’s President, Mag Morelli.
