$226,000: The measure of a community's generosity

To the editor: On April 29, the Bon Secours Warwick Healthcare Campus, comprised of St. Anthony Community Hospital, Shervier Pavilion and Mount Alverno Center, held their Annual Spring Ball at The Sheraton Crossroads Hotel. It was my privilege and honor to chair this event and I am thrilled to announce that this gala was attended by more than 570 guests and raised an unprecedented $226,000 for the expansion and renovation of our Emergency Department. The outpouring of generosity and the combined efforts of our extended St. Anthony’s family was overwhelming. I sincerely wish to thank my committee, our sponsors and donors, our honorees, our medical staff, employees, volunteers and community members who gave of their valuable time and their money to help us with our mission. St. Anthony’s is a uniquely special place and is the heart of the community it serves, a community whose generosity enables us to continue to provide good help to those in need. Thank you one and all. Terry Quint Warwick
