TO COMFORT ALWAYS The main lobby of Morristown Medical Center overflowed with good cheer, October 27, 2015, as 150 supporters of the Nancy and Skippy Weinstein Inpatient Hospice and Palliative Care Center celebrated its dedication on Simon 3. Finn Wentworth, chairman of Campaign 3SIXTY, served as emcee for the evening’s speaking program, which included Interim President Trish O’Keefe speaking about the growth of palliative care and hospice at Morristown; former Medical Director Dr. Karen Knops recalling how Nancy Weinstein championed the center’s creation early on; the Weinsteins explaining why the center carries such meaning for them and state Senator Anthony Bucco presenting a resolution that paid tribute to the Weinsteins and the hospital. Tours of the 11-bed unit followed.
The Weinstein family at the ribbon cutting and (l-r) Women’s Association President Mary Courtemanche with 2012 Mansion in May co-chairs Dannette Merchant and Nathalie Dennis, whose event raised $1.25M for the center
