Oceanside, NY, December 05, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Retiring Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg and his wife, Ellen, along with Robert J. Kramer, M.D., were honored at South Nassau Communities Hospital’s 2014 Annual Carnation Ball held Saturday, November 1 at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Westbury. The Carnation Ball raised more than $713,000 in support of South Nassau’s $57 million Emergency Department expansion project.

Mr. and Mrs. Weisenberg were the Carnation Ball’s co-honorees and Dr. Kramer was the recipient of South Nassau’s prestigious Mary Pearson Award. South Nassau administrators, board members and medical staff members, as well as many of the region’s healthcare executives, state and local public officials and business and community leaders were among the more than 630 guests who attended the event.

“The annual success of the Carnation Ball is the direct result of teamwork and a commitment to service excellence, which is also the driving force behind South Nassau’s tradition of excellence in the delivery of healthcare services,” said Richard J. Murphy, president and CEO of South Nassau. “On behalf of the communities and patients that turn to South Nassau for the quality healthcare that they deserve, I thank Mr. and Mrs. Weisenberg and Dr. Kramer for their selfless dedication to South Nassau’s mission.”

Carnation Ball honorees are recognized for exemplary leadership and contributions in support of South Nassau’s mission.

The hospital’s Mary Pearson Award is presented annually to an individual for extraordinary effort and individual contributions that significantly advance South Nassau’s commitment to compassionate care and standard setting healthcare services.

Presently housing 35 treatment bays, South Nassau’s Emergency Department is a New York State Department of Health Regional Stroke Center and the only Level II Trauma Center located in southern Nassau County. The department is staffed by a team of dedicated professionals including board-certified, residency-trained emergency medicine physicians as well as nurses and physicians' assistants who specialize in emergency medical care.

A capital campaign is underway to nearly double the department’s size to provide greater efficiency for the more than 70,000 patients it serves annually.
