With full hearts, we gathered for the final Nyack Hospital Auxiliary Harvest Tea—a beautiful and bittersweet moment that brought decades of service, friendship, and devotion full circle. 🍂☕️

After disbanding earlier this year, the Auxiliary came together one last time to celebrate an extraordinary legacy of volunteerism and to honor Brigitte Simon, whose remarkable journey of service began in 1986. For nearly four decades, she embodied the very spirit of compassion, generosity, and commitment that defined the Auxiliary and helped shape Nyack Hospital for generations.

Guests enjoyed tea, light bites, and meaningful conversation, highlighted by an inspiring planned giving and estate planning presentation by Cane & Boniface, a trusted local law firm now partnering with the Montefiore Nyack Foundation to grow our Planned Giving program and ensure the Hospital’s future remains strong for years to come.

The Nyack Hospital Auxiliary may have closed this chapter, but its impact will live on—in the lives touched, the programs supported, and the unwavering belief in community-centered care.

If you wish to make a donation in honor of the Nyack Hospital Auxiliary and its extraordinary members, please consider giving online at

Thank you to every Auxiliary member for decades of service, heart, and humanity. Your legacy is forever part of Nyack Hospital’s story. 🎁❤️‍🩹
