AHF-NY Kicks Off New Year with New Leadership

Colleagues and friends gathered for the announcement and of course, to celebrate Lamont’s accomplishments. Lamont served as an integral part of the medical center’s Food and Nutrition Department over his four years in his position. Lamont was honored by his peers as an unforgettable leader, and he commemorated this special occasion in his statement cowboy hat and pinstripe suit.

Guests enjoyed the holiday decor and festive atmosphere while posing for pictures and socializing, as well as taking the opportunity to enjoy each other’s company without their usual scrubs and labcoats. To really capture the joyous spirit of the room, many even sported fun glasses and colorful Hawaiian leis! The committee also presented certificates to select individuals as congratulations for their accomplishments throughout the past year.

And what would an Association for Healthcare and Food Service event be without fine dining? Guests continued the festivities with a hand-selected menu of chicken Francese, aged New York “Sterling Silver” shell steak, half-roasted chicken, pan-seared salmon, eggplant Parmigiana, and portobello mushrooms.

A full stomach was not the only thing guests left with—the night continued with drawings for gift cards, gift baskets, televisions and more! Winners showed off their prizes, along with their moves, with big smiles on the dance floor.

Guests continued to dance the night away and celebrate not only Lamont’s successes, but also those of all our healthcare heroes. Despite these unprecedented times, they have continued to show up to each day of work with their best foot forward. Although Brookdale Hospital and Medical Center will miss Lamont, they are excited to pass the torch to Leslie Rosen, who will begin his duties as Director of Nutrition Services as we enter the new year.
