Vermont Business Magazine Rutland Regional Medical Center has announced the return of the Green Mountain Gala on Saturday, May 20 after a three-year hiatus. The gala, which will be held at the Southside Steakhouse in Rutland, is the hospital’s signature fundraising event. The event features fabulous food, including hand-crafted tapas and cuisine stations, as well as dancing to one of Vermont’s hottest bands, A House on Fire. Proceeds from the evening will support expanding infusion services at Rutland Regional.
“We are incredibly excited to bring back this event,” said Traci Moore, Senior Director of Development and Community Relations at the hospital. “We have missed the opportunity to gather with friends and supporters for a fun evening filled with great food, music and celebration that benefits the hospital.”
This year’s Green Mountain Gala will support the cost of renovating space to expand infusion services. More and more, hospital and community providers are utilizing medications that are given via infusion to help manage a number of diseases, such as asthma, COPD, Crohn’s, multiple sclerosis, and complex infections.
“The demand for infusion services at Rutland Regional has dramatically increased, outgrowing the current infusion space,” explained Jonathan Reynolds, Vice President of Clinical Services. “We simply don’t have room to fit in all of the patients who need this care. We will be creating a new space specifically for infusion care which will allow more patients to have improved access in a more comfortable space for their treatments.”
Since 2003, the Rutland Health Foundation’s Green Mountain Gala has raised more than $745,000 for vital healthcare initiatives at Rutland Regional Medical Center and in our community.
