Highlights of
The Gala Celebration
Brightpoint Health, a leading nonprofit provider of integrated health care and social support services throughout New York City, celebrated 25 years of serving New Yorkers in need on Monday, October 19th, 2015.
The event, which took place at New York’s historic Plaza Hotel, was also the setting for the inaugural Brightpoint Awards. Over 450 guests shared in an evening filled with joy and inspiration in a magical setting. The Plaza’s Grand Ballroom was transformed into a ‘Brightpoint City” with the stage lit up as the New York cityscape, the ceiling covered with images of the ‘Brightpoint Sun’, and the audience representing diverse elements of positive change and progress in society. Each table’s centerpiece included copies of books authored by the 25 Brightpoint Award honorees and event co-chairs, New York Senators, Chuck Schumer and Kristen Gillibrand, along with a miniature version of one honoree, the Statue of Liberty.
The festivities began with Brightpoint unveiling a new, 45’ long mobile health care unit that will soon be providing primary health care, preventative screenings and health education in communities most affected by health disparities throughout the city.
