The Gold Foundation’s 2023 Annual Gala

Thank you to all who joined us in New York City on June 20th! Congratulations to all of the Gala honorees!

The Annual Gala marks a special time each year when the Gold Foundation gathers its community of doctors, nurses, students, healthcare education leaders, medical and nursing faculty and deans, corporate executives, patients, families, nonprofit partners, and supporters in a singular celebration of humanism in healthcare.

This year, we returned to the beautiful Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City. We were delighted to welcome back Gold Trustee Dr. Kimberly Manning, a beloved voice of humanism in healthcare, as the gala host.

We honored four visionary leaders: global nursing leader and Dean of the College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences at Howard University Dr. Gina S. Brown; visionary physician President and CEO of the Gold Foundation Dr. Richard I. Levin, who will be stepping down this summer after an extraordinary 12-year tenure; national health policy leader, founding Dean and President Emeritus of the Morehouse School of Medicine, and former Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Honorable Dr. Louis W. Sullivan; and pioneering nursing leader and Dean at the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing Dr. Eileen Sullivan-Marx.
