2023 FOUNDERS BALL

MAY 22ND AT THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM

Dear TBHC Family and Friends, On behalf of The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC) and The Brooklyn Hospital Foundation, we extend our profound gratitude for your support of the 2023 Founders Ball gala, held at the Brooklyn Museum.

Your generous participation made this event a resounding success and will help fund advancements all around our hospital and campus.

Given the limited resources of a safety-net hospital, improving our facilities, upgrading our equipment and continually advancing our medical education is never easy. Contributions from past Founders Balls have made vital projects possible - like the purchase of a state-of-the art surgical robot, the complete transformation of our Emergency Department and the purchase of some of our most useful teaching and training tools in medical simulation.

Your generosity is crucial as we move forward on our Blueprint for Excellence. We are steadfast in our mission to care for those most in need, regardless of ability to pay. As we map out our future, we have a plan not just to remain a steady, reliable resource for our community, but to continually evolve and provide the excellent care patients need to thrive.

We’re leading an initiative in conjunction with local elected officials to develop a new healthcare equity model for Kings County. Key to this new model is an alternative payment plan that moves safety-net hospitals away from fee-for-service reimbursement and instead toward a payment structure that utilizes health and health equity incentives to capture federal funds. This novel approach will help fund critically needed community-based clinical programs while also giving TBHC more resources to modernize, grow and improve. This new model ensures our continued trajectory along our Blueprint for Excellence.

Thank you again for your belief in us, in our vision and in health equity for the underserved. We’re proud to count you among our supporters as we work to transform healthcare in Brooklyn and beyond.

Sincerely,

Gary G. Terrinoni

Dear TBHC Family and Friends, On May 22, nearly 600 of our friends and supporters returned to the Brooklyn Museum for the 2023 Founders Ball. We celebrated our hospital’s recent progress and our extraordinary honorees: Founders Medalist, Jeffrey Vacirca, MD, FACP, CEO & Chairman of New York Cancer & Blood Specialists; and Walter E. Reed Medalist Viswanath Vasudevan, MD, Program Director, Internal Medicine Residency Program & Vice Chair, Education Medicine.

The evening was filled with delicious food, cocktails, fun photo booths, live music, dancing and inspirational stories of healing and hope. Guests learned about our hospital’s mission to care for everyone in our community — regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. We celebrated our hospital’s magnificent new facilities, award-winning clinical programs, top-notch medical education and compassionate patient care that make up our Blueprint for Excellence.

Since The Brooklyn Hospital Center’s founding, our objective has been clear: to care for everyone who needs us, no matter their wealth or background. As a community-based hospital, our job is to listen, adapt, and respond to the needs of local families.

Your generosity is a critical pillar of this mission. And thanks to your support, I am proud to say that this year marked the 10th consecutive Founders Ball to raise more than $1,000,000! Proceeds from the evening will fund more hospital advancements to improve patient care and comfort throughout our institution and ensure the trajectory of the Blueprint for Excellence.

I am especially grateful for the Founders Ball Committee, who generously donated their time and introduced new friends to TBHC: Armand P. Asarian, MD; Robert Aulicino; Adrina Banks-Martin; Martha Bakos Dietz; Harry Dym, DDS; Andrew L. Hamm; Anu Iyer; Jessie McClintock Kelly; Keith L. Kinch; Shri Madhusudhan; Luca Milone, MD; Lesia Bates Moss; Daniel D. Ricciardi, MD; Joshua Rosenberg, MD; Lenny H. Singletary, III; and Dino J. Veronese.

Finally, my thanks to you for helping us celebrate medical excellence! With your support, we are ensuring that all of our Brooklyn neighbors receive excellent care, regardless of socioeconomic status.
