It marked the public launch of our Campaign, which supports Behavioral Health, Children’s Health, Heart and Vascular, Neuroscience and Oncology. The event provided an opportunity to honor physician Dickerman Hollister Jr., MD.

Supporters and friends gathered at Greenwich Country Club on May 20, 2022, for the hospital’s annual Benefit, raising funds for key areas of growth in Behavioral Health, Children's Health, Heart and Vascular, Neuroscience and Oncology. After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the sold-out evening honored former Greenwich Hospital Board of Trustees Chair Arthur C. Martinez, Mrs. Elizabeth Martinez and family, as well as physician Dr. James A. Brunetti. Former Today Show co-host and longtime Riverside resident Kathie Lee Gifford delighted guests as the event’s master of ceremonies, and a live auction was led by renowned auctioneer Lydia Fenet of Christie’s Auction House. A poem was read from a book created by Emergency Department staff about their experiences during the pandemic. Throughout the reading, images of employees during the height of COVID-19 illuminated the stage. After, members of the frontline took to the stage and received a standing ovation. The backdrop was a reproduction of the mural created by artist Rick Garcia, commissioned by C. Parker Gallery as a gift to Greenwich Hospital.
