Bedford, OH—On October 18, 2003, UHHS Bedford Medical
Center will celebrate its 75th Anniversary with a gala event
to be held at Signature
of Solon. This black tie affair will offer party-goers an evening
of fine dining, music, dancing and the opportunity to celebrate
with friends old and new. In addition, guests will receive a
lovely, commemorative gift and witness a "day in the life" video
tribute of Bedford Medical Center, created with this milestone
evening in mind. Click here to see photos
of this wonderful event.
The event boasts as Committee Chairs Judge Peter Junkin of
the City of Bedford, James "Dell" Judd of James B.
Oswald Co. and Antonia Masetta of NatureStone and includes many
other
prominent members of the community. Entertainment will be provided
by The Art Company, a nationally acclaimed orchestra.
Originally no more that four beds on the second floor of a
private home in Bedford, the hospital was established in April
of 1928
and has grown through the years to keep pace with an ever-expanding
population and demand for high quality, accessible medical care.
The hospital was purchased in 1993 by University Hospitals Health
System allowing Bedford Medical Center to partake in unsurpassed
growth and exciting innovations—a state-of-the-art Outpatient
Surgery Center completed in October of 1997 and a beautifully
appointed and modernized Bretschneider Women's Unit in 2000.
The hospital services the southeast region, which includes Southern
Cuyahoga and Northern Portage and Summit counties.
"With a solid foundation of 75 years, Bedford Medical Center
now ushers in a new era of continued excellence with a guaranteed
focus on expansion, growth and technological advancement without
sacrificing the personalized, 'community caring' philosophy
which is now and always will be our promise to those we serve.
A recent addition to the BMC family, President Sean McKibben,
enthusiastically supports this vision. He will be formally introduced
to the community that evening," states Judge Junkin.
Committee members include Phyllis Biltz, Dr. Shukri Elkhairi,
Patricia Estok, Wendy Grant, Robert Hamilton, Janice Hawwa, Patrick
and Cyndi Lally, Brock Milstein, Charles Randazzo, Michael Romito
and Kathy Workman.
Individual tickets are offered at Platinum ($275), Gold ($175)
and Silver ($75) levels—precious, timeless metals that
symbolize BMC's commitment and dedication to the community.
Corporate sponsorships at Diamond, Emerald and Ruby levels are
also available. For more information about the event, sponsorship
opportunities or to purchase tickets, please call Nancy DeSantis
