Ryan Health's Annual Caring For New York Gala Raise Funds For Vital Healthcare Treatment And Prevention For Undersevered New Yorkers Event Honor Pioneering Leaders Helping New York Communities
NEW YORK CITY — Ryan Health announces its annual Caring
for New York Gala will take place on Thursday, June 15 at Cipriani 25
Broadway. The evening’s festivities kick-off with a cocktail reception at 6:00
pm, followed by dinner, awards, and auction 7:00- 9:00 pm. The event raises
hundreds of thousands of dollars for underserved New Yorkers and honors
healthcare leaders for their pioneering work. Proceeds from this year’s gala
will allow Ryan Health to advance its mission of providing exceptional primary
care and specialty services to low-income members of the community, including
individuals still coping with the mental health impacts of COVID-19 and
asylum-seekers who have arrived in New York City needing healthcare and other
support services.
This year’s Gala Healthcare Hero honorees are Brennan Gilbane Koch, Vice President, Gilbane Building Company, New York City, and Roderick L. Jones, EdD, MPA, Executive Director of Goddard Riverside. Also being honored is Ryan Health’s President and CEO, Brian McIndoe, MPH, who is retiring this summer after leading the organization since 2015; he served as Ryan Health’s CFO for six years prior.
The Caring for New York Gala will feature entertainment by Sing Harlem, the breakout musical group from the Mama Foundation for the Arts under the direction of Ahmaya Knoelle Higginson. The cocktail reception will feature the Richard Cortez Band, led by queer jazz song interpreter Richard Cortez. Patrick Tully will be the evening’s host and conduct the live auction.
“Our Caring for New York Gala supports the work we do all year delivering healthcare to New York’s underserved communities,” said Brian P. McIndoe, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Ryan Health. “Our healthcare landscape continues to change even since the pandemic, with new challenges for our care teams. This event ensures we are able to reach those who are in the most need wherever they are in the community.”
