11TH ANNUAL HEROES IN HEALTH CARE GALA

The 11th annual Visiting Nurse Association of Boston’s Heroes in Health Care gala was held in the grand ballroom at the Mandarin Oriental, Boston. The black-tie event celebrated the association’s founding 130 years ago and honored three “heroes”: Diane Bergeron, former VP of hospice and advanced illness management for VNA Hospice & Palliative Care; Michael R. Minogue, president, CEO, and chairman of Abiomed; and Mutual of America (accepted by John R. Greed, president and CEO). The sold-out celebration raised nearly $300,000 to benefit the VNA’s Maternal

Child Health Program and Charitable Care Fund.
