NCH Hospital Ball
November 9, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm
$500The 2019 NCH Hospital Ball, honoring Bill and Penny Allyn, is on Saturday, November 9 at The Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort, Naples. Since the first Hospital Ball in 1958, philanthropic support from our community has had a transformational effect on the growth of NCH – from a small nonprofit 50-bed hospital, to a nationally recognized 716-bed, two hospital healthcare system.
The Hospital Ball allows NCH to advance patient care and provide life-saving services in a number of critical areas including; cardiology, stroke, pediatrics and emergency care. Because of your generosity, last year’s Hospital Ball raised more than $1 million to equip a fifth Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory.
Proceeds from this event will continue to support the expansion and modernization of the Emergency Department at the NCH Baker Hospital Downtown. The plan is to transform the existing space into a 47,000 square foot, state-of-the art facility to provide enhanced quality and compassionate emergency care with specialized treatment to a growing and aging population.
The Hospital Ball is one of Naples’ premier black-tie events, honoring the Physician of the Year and the Nurses of the Year; also, featuring a cocktail reception, dinner, live entertainment and an exciting live and silent auctions.
The Physician of the Year nominees are: Mazen Abu Awad, MD; Cesar DeLeon, DO ; Michael Lusk, MD; Scott Peterson, MD; Carlos Quintero, MD; Ruta V. Totoraitis; Mario Trance, MD; and Shona V. Velamakanni, MD.
The Nurses of the Year recipients are: Dorothea Angelis, RN; Veronica James, RN; and Rita Murray, RN.
