Each year the VNA of Boston acknowledges the support of individuals and community partners who make significant contributions to the health and well-being of the citizens of Massachusetts, and whom we consider to be our Heroes. We are especially pleased to announce the 2011 award recipients who were honored at our 125th Heroes in Health Care Gala on October 15, 2011.

This year’s gala was held in the Grand Ballroom of the Taj Hotel. With its breathtaking views of the Boston Public Garden, it was a fitting location for the culmination of the organization’s year-long celebration of its milestone anniversary and was certainly a memorable evening. The black tie benefit was hosted by award-winning journalist Emily Rooney who, along with other notable guests, shared stories from the VNA of Boston’s rich history and why our services are more relevant today than ever before.
