Montefiore Nyack Foundation was pleased to host its Emerging Professional Leaders networking event on Wednesday, June 24, bringing together community members ages 25 to 40 who share a passion for philanthropy, volunteerism and advancing healthcare in Rockland County.

Founded by Foundation Board members Brian Foley, Stephen Kasamis, Stephen Passanante and Nate Samuels, the Emerging Professional Leaders initiative is designed to engage and inspire the next generation of community leaders while fostering meaningful connections among young professionals throughout the region.

Guests enjoyed cocktails, light bites and exclusive tours of the Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Orthopedic & Spine Center at 3 Centerock Drive in West Nyack. The state-of-the-art, 60,000-square-foot facility—developed in partnership with Montefiore Nyack Hospital—showcases the future of orthopedic and spine care in Rockland County. Attendees toured the Ambulatory Surgery Center, physician offices, diagnostic and imaging suites and the rehabilitation facility operated by our sister hospital, Burke Rehabilitation.

The Foundation extends its gratitude to the committee members for their vision and leadership in launching this exciting initiative and looks forward to growing this vibrant network of emerging leaders dedicated to supporting Montefiore Nyack Hospital and its mission of providing exceptional healthcare close to home.
