Carver Recognizes Million Dollar Gift

On June 10, Carver held a reception in recognition of a gift from the Foundation for the United Hospital Medical Center in the amount of $1.1 million which will be used for capital improvements.

The gift is from a Foundation that had been established at the United Hospital for capital improvements. The Foundation raised approximately $8 million, and once the hospital closed, the assets of the Foundation were divided among organizations that address the physical and emotional health and well-being of Port Chester residents. Other recipients of the Foundation’s assets include EMS, Open Door Family Medical Center, and Greenwich Hospital.

Carver’s Executive Director Kerry Walsh was involved with the capital campaign while serving as Vice President of External Affairs at the United Hospital. “It was a very exciting campaign for United that was generously supported by Rye, Greenwich, Harrison, Purchase, and Port Chester residents. I know that the donors are pleased to see these funds being used for Port Chester residents,” said Kerry.
