On Thursday, February 26, Heart Night Out (formerly Girls’ Night Out), the annual fundraiser for the WMCHealth Heart and Vascular Institute, was held at The Hollows at DeCicco & Sons in Sleepy Hollow. Guests enjoyed heartwarming stories, shopped for a cause, and helped raise vital funds to advance heart health. Steven Lansman, MD, PhD, Director of the Department of Surgery at Westchester Medical Center, received the Physician Exemplar award for his outstanding work in the field of cardiology. Virginia Kolner, Director of Medical Operations at the New York State Troopers Surgeons, was given the Heart Hero award for her ongoing role in helping New York State Troopers receive cardiac care. Proceeds from the event benefit the WMCHealth Heart and Vascular Institute, which offers a wide range of cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and vascular surgery services, including heart transplantation, treatment for heart failure and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and more, to Hudson Valley residents.
