Phelps Hospital Annual Gala to Honor Dr. Larry Faltz

Phelps Memorial Hospital Center’s 27th Annual Champagne Ball will be held Saturday, November 8, 2014 at Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor. The evening’s honoree will be Lawrence Faltz, MD, of Larchmont, Senior Vice President for Medical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center in Sleepy Hollow, and Clinical Professor of Medicine at New York Medical College.

“Over the course of the last 20 years, Larry has made exceptional contributions to the growth and development of Phelps,” said Keith E. Safian, Phelps’ President and CEO. “Honoring him at the Champagne Ball gives us all an opportunity to recognize the tremendous impact he has had in establishing Phelps as one of the most sophisticated community hospitals in the region.” The evening’s theme “Looking Forward,” refers to the ongoing growth of hospital facilities and services, which continues to benefit from Dr. Faltz’s involvement.

The event will include a cocktail reception, dinner and dancing, with a silent auction featuring gift certificates, cocktail packages, accommodations, and jewelry. Co-chairs of the evening are Pamela and Paul Terracciano, MD, of Briarcliff Manor, and Laurie and Franklin Zimmerman, MD, of Mt. Kisco.

A unique aspect of the event is the Fund-A-Cause auction, where guests pledge their support to a designated hospital program or service with the goal of completely funding the initiative by the end of the evening. This year, the auction will fund the expansion and updating of the hospital’s outpatient cardiovascular laboratory to create a more comfortable and positive experience for patients. The Phelps Lab is already recognized as one of the most comprehensive cardiovascular diagnostic facilities in the region.
