Upcoming Nightlight: North Shore - LIJ Lenox Hill Hospital AUTUMN BALL IT’S A NEW DAY
On Monday, November 1, 2010, Lenox Hill Hospital (LHH) will hold their annual Autumn Ball, this year dubbed "It's A New Day" in the Waldorf=Astoria Grand Ballroom. For over a century, the Autumn Ball has been one of the most glamorous evenings of New York City’s fall season as well as the largest fundraising event for the hospital. This is our coverage of last year's fabulous event:
This year, the Black Tie Gala celebrates the newly formed partnership with the North Shore - LIJ Health System. Independent hospitals throughout the country are realizing that in order to provide high quality care, be best positioned for future healthcare reform and be cost effective in a challenging healthcare environment, they must become part of a larger entity.
LHH is a highly regarded destination for clinical services, attracting patients from the New York metropolitan area. With its hospital staff, clinical services and rich legacy of exceptional care, the 153-year old LHH becomes the Manhattan flagship presence for the North Shore - LIJ.
North Shore - LIJ is the largest integrated healthcare provider in New York State. It was recently recognized with the National Quality Forum's prestigious 2010 Quality Healthcare Award.
Both organizations have similar cultures with core missions to provide high quality clinical care supported by medical education and research.
