Tropical Tribute to 30 Years - 8/5/10

Guests of Family Hospice and Palliative Care, including volunteers and benefactors, took a stroll through the palms, marveled the vista from the treetop lookout, and raised their glasses at the organization’s Tropical Tribute to 30 Years at the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. WTAE-TV news anchor Andrew Stockey served as master of ceremonies of the event, which also featured live island music by Phil Webster, wine, hors d’oeuvres, an anniversary cake, and a brief program about Family Hospice. “The last three decades have been witness to many enhancements in end-of-life care,” says president and CEO Raphael Sciullo. “We are proud to continue to serve as an innovator in the field and grateful for the opportunity to help all of those we touch make the most of every day.” Photography by Megan Wylie Ruffing
