Hundreds of New Yorkers celebrated Ryan Health’s mission of providing affordable healthcare to tens of thousands of New Yorkers and raised over $650,000 at the Caring For New York Gala, which brought together titans of business, healthcare, and philanthropy. The biennial event, this year hosted by Lower Manhattan nightspot Capitale, was June 6 and featured fabulous food, heartwarming presentations highlighting community leaders, and the excitement of a live auction.

“Our Caring for New York Gala underscores the role Ryan Health plays in ensuring a healthy New York,” said Brian McIndoe, MPH, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ryan Health. “We provide high-quality, affordable healthcare at our community health centers, in schools, and through our mobile health center. “Through the generosity of hundreds of leaders from the business, healthcare and philanthropic communities, our Gala supports Ryan Health’s mission of meeting the healthcare needs of over 50,000 New Yorkers who otherwise struggle to receive the care they need,” McIndoe continued, capturing the spirit and energy of the Gala.
