Dear Friends, Thank you for joining us tonight to celebrate our Y and the wonderful achievements of our friend Frank Corvino. As most of you know, thanks to the generosity of our Y members and friends our Y is now debt free and poised to serve the Greenwich community for the next 100 years. Our membership is 5,000 strong and growing daily. We have a thriving child care program at St. Roch’s, provide 5 elementary schools with afterschool care and with summer right around the corner we’re getting ready to meet the needs of families looking for quality, affordable camp for their children. Last year we provided over $200,000 in scholarships to make all of our programs affordable for the community and we intend to do more great things in 2014. One of the ways we can ‘do more’ is to partner with other community organizations. We are thrilled that we have been able to start a partnership with Greenwich Hospital. Our monthly Friday morning Wellness Series began in January with a workshop on how to identify a stroke and apply CPR skills that could save a life. We’re looking forward to planning additional lectures like diabetes prevention and healthy living incentives in 2014! We are all fortunate that this world class hospital is in our backyard and Frank’s focus on advancing healthy living efforts in the Greenwich community is at the center of the hospitals success. We are grateful to Frank for his leadership and willingness to help us to strengthen our community outreach by extending the hospital’s resources to our members and friends. Enjoy the evening! Ed Philipp CEO

Honoree Frank A. Corvino, President & CEO, Greenwich Hospital Frank A. Corvino has been president and chief executive officer of Greenwich Hospital since 1991. He joined the hospital in 1988 as senior vice president and chief operating officer. During his 25-year leadership, the hospital has experienced unprecedented growth, including the opening of two major buildings that completely replaced the main Greenwich Hospital campus that existed in 1996. In addition, Corvino has been at the forefront of healthcare innovation in such areas of patient safety, wellness programs, care for the aging and the “green” movement. A staunch patient advocate, Corvino instituted a culture of service excellence at Greenwich that garnered the hospital five consecutive Press Ganey Summit Awards, the nation’s leader in healthcare satisfaction measurement. Moreover, his ability to work effectively with physicians, patients, trustees, advocacy groups, hospital staff and others has been instrumental in establishing Greenwich Hospital’s reputation as the premier regional healthcare facility. Before coming to Greenwich Hospital, Mr. Corvino was an executive vice president at Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center in Bronx, NY, where he also held other management positions. He received his undergraduate degree in Pharmacy at Fordham University and completed his graduate training at St. John’s University. An author and lecturer, Corvino has addressed healthcare issues, including healthcare reform and hospital safety, in print and on broadcast media. He is the recipient of numerous local and national awards, including the Ellis Island Medal of Honor from the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations, the Grassroots Champion Award from the American Hospital Association (AHA) and the 2013 Outstanding Business Leader award from the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce.
