Health Quest 3
Pay tribute to Vassar Brothers Medical Center — and
acknowledge the special people in your life — by contributing
a brick to the VBMC Auxiliary's Walkway of Hope.
is landmark walkway extends from the entrance
of VBMC's main lobby all the way to The Dyson Center
for Cancer Care. Paved with special bricks bearing the
personal inscriptions of their donors, this walkway has
raised necessary funds while recognizing all those who
have been touched by the hospital, says Shirley Irwin,
retiring Auxiliary president.
"VBMC is dedicated to providing the most
comprehensive healthcare services available," Irwin says.
"is requires progressive thinking and constant growth,
built on a foundation of compassion and care."

exotic varieties, and this often-overlooked veggie is available year-round. Get your fix in this simple dish
