Event chair Geri Corrigan and an enthusiastic committee of volunteers created a night to remember with fantastic silent auction packages and dancing to the sounds of DJ Flip.
Local emergency medical service organizations Greenwich EMS, Harrison EMS, and Port Chester-Rye-Rye Brook EMS were honored at the celebration, where mouthwatering specialties were prepared by over 35 top chefs and beverage distributors.
Norman G. Roth, president at Greenwich Hospital, praised the important work done by the first responders. “These organizations provide important lifesaving, pre-hospital medical care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. This event is about the well-being of the communities we serve, and our EMS teams are shining examples of what it means to positively impact the health of the community,” he said.
On hand to accept the awards were several members of each organization, including GEMS Board Chairman John Raben, Harrison EMS Chief Joe Bilotti, and Port Chester-Rye-Rye Brook EMS Board Chairman Lloyd Miller.
