St. Anthony Community Hospital recently held its second annual Girls’ Night Out fund raiser.
Nearly 250 local women, health care staff and friends of St. Anthony Community Hospital came together at the Red Tail Lodge at Mountain Creek in Vernon, N.J., to support the hospital’s women’s health services. More than $30,000 was raised.

Keynote speaker Patricia Pollio, MD, OB/GYN at Advanced Physician Services in Goshen and Suffern, discussed impacts and offered solutions for the effects of hormones on women’s health.
Comedian Regina DeCicco revealed the humorous side of womanhood.
Girls’ Night Out also featured a shopping suite with local vendors, high-end raffle baskets and the popular “Power of the Purse” raffle.
St. Anthony Community Hospital hosted Girls’ Night Out with Bon Secours Warwick Health Foundation Board of Directors members Terry Quint and Barbara Sullivan serving as co-chairs, along with a committee of hospital staff and community members.
“This was year two of Girls Night Out and we are thrilled that it surpassed last year’s success, both in terms of attendance and funds raised,” said Sullivan.
Added Quint: “We share our deepest gratitude with everyone who made it so terrific – the committee, the vendors and each guest who joined us."
The Bon Secours Warwick Healthcare Foundation will hold two additional fundraising events this year: the St. Anthony Community Hospital Golf Outing on Sept. 25, and Winding Through Warwick on Dec. 7.
