Dear TBHC Family and Friends,
I am truly delighted to have joined The Brooklyn Hospital Center and be at my first
Brooklyn Hospital Foundation’s Founders Ball.
Change has been the major constant during the Hospital Center’s 171 years
of service and has inspired and challenged the leaders of yesterday. Change
stimulates and demands the best of today’s leaders and requires us to reach out
to an ever-widening circle of leaders to help guide us through the dynamic forces
of healthcare. In this regard, The Brooklyn Hospital Foundation and its Founders
Ball play an indispensable role. I acknowledge and welcome Karen Peetz,
President, BNY Mellon, to the Hospital family. I would also like to recognize the
many Founders Medalists who have continued their involvement with the Hospital,
among them Christopher M. Conlon, EVP & COO, Acadia Realty Trust; Bruce
Mosler, Chairman, Global Brokerage, Cushman & Wakefield; MaryAnne Gilmartin,
President & CEO, Forest City Ratner Companies; Robert Knakal, Chairman, NY
Investment Sales, Cushman & Wakefield; and Robert B. Catell, AERTC, Stony
Brook University.
I am so pleased that two of TBHC’s finest physicians are being honored tonight for
their excellence and dedication to the Hospital’s community – Dr. Abraham Jelin,
Division Chief, Pediatric Gastroenterology; and Angela D. Kerr, Chief, Gynecology.
Their dedication is at the heart of our core mission - to provide a single standard of
care to all regardless of ability to pay.
In the coming months, I will be announcing a number of
key decisions that will propel the Hospital forward. I
salute you for your generosity and hope to have the
pleasure of greeting each and every one of you.
Gary G. Terrinoni
President & CEO,
The Brooklyn Hospital Center

The Founders Medal will be presented to Karen Peetz, President, BNY Mellon.

well as her commitment with BNY Mellon to focus on diversity and inclusion.
The prestigious Walter E. Reed Medal will be awarded to two Brooklyn Hospital
Center physicians who exemplify, above all else, commitment to the community
of Brooklyn through quality care: Angela D. Kerr, MD, Chief, Gynecology, and

The Founders Medal commemorates the spirit and tradition of volunteerism,
philanthropy, and service to the community exhibited by the original founders of The
Brooklyn Hospital Center. In 1839 the city of Brooklyn was already 200 years old, but
there was no hospital. Recognizing the need for a voluntary hospital, Mayor Cyrus P.
Smith persuaded his friends Augustus Graham, Henry E. Pierrepont, A.A.Low, William
Packer, and others to support his vision. Six years later, in 1845, The Brooklyn City
Hospital was incorporated. The Founders Medal recognizes individuals and institutions
whose leadership demonstrates the commitment of these founders to volunteerism,
philanthropy, and community service.
The Walter E. Reed Medal commemorates the career and excellence of a great
physician of The Brooklyn Hospital Center. Just as the Hospital today sees its natural
function as a setting for bringing doctors together and providing a climate for each to
advance professionally through association with others, in the nineteenth century the
hospital was instrumental in redirecting Walter E. Reed, who at the time was studying
to be a surgeon, into the field of public health and epidemiology. Dr. Reed’s studies set
him on his path to eradicating yellow fever.
The Walter E. Reed Medal is presented annually to a member or members of the
Medical Staff of The Brooklyn Hospital Center and recognizes excellence in clinical
practice, medical education, or biomedical research as well as a longstanding
commitment to The Brooklyn Hospital Center.
