PCDC spring gala
Dear Friends, 2o10
Welcome to the 5th Annual PCDC Spring Gala! Thank you for being a part of this wonderful event, and for supporting PCDC’s
mission to ensure that every community has access to affordable and high-quality primary care.
We are greatly appreciative of Dinner Co-Chairs, Steven M. Safyer, MD and Michael A. Stocker, MD, our Dinner Committee,
and PCDC’s Board of Directors for their tireless efforts to make this event such a success. Without their strong commitment and
dedication, this would not have been possible.
Tonight we congratulate our four honorees: David B. Snow, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Medco Health Solutions; Margaret
A. Hamburg, MD, Commissioner, Food and Drugs, Department of Health and Human Services; Herbert Pardes, MD, President
& CEO, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System; and Katherine A. Golar, MD, Chief
Medical Officer, Brownsville Multi-Service Family Health Center. These individuals have played exemplary roles in preserving and
improving access to quality health care for millions of people in New York and across the country. We are privileged to have them
join us tonight.
Tonight, we celebrate “Primary Care in Bloom,” recognizing the momentous passage of national healthcare reform, and the critical
role primary care will play in transforming our healthcare system. From major investment in community health centers, to fairer
pay for primary care providers, to incentives that will reward quality of care and outcomes, we are starting on a path of enormous
promise to complete the revolution in health care that we all know is possible.
With your support, PCDC’s vision of “Excellent Healthcare in Every Neighborhood” is closer than ever. As we celebrate our
achievements tonight, we look forward with excitement to working with all of our partners to deliver on the promise of lower cost,
higher quality health care for all of us.
Thank you, again, for joining us tonight. Have a wonderful evening.
Sincerely,

Honoree
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Margaret A. Hamburg became the 21st Commissioner of Food and Drugs on May 18, 2009. The
second woman to be nominated for this position, she is an experienced medical doctor, scientist,
and public health executive.
As the top official of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Hamburg is committed to
strengthening programs and policies that enable the agency to carry out its mission to protect and
promote the public health. “Strengthening FDA’s programs and policies will help us protect the
safety of the food supply, give the public access to safe and effective medical products, find novel
ways to prevent illness and promote health, and be transparent in explaining our decision-making,” says Dr. Hamburg. “A strong
FDA is an agency that the American public can count on.”
Dr. Hamburg graduated from Harvard Medical School and completed her residency in internal medicine at what is now New
York–Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. She conducted research on neuroscience at Rockefeller University,
studied neuropharmacology at the National Institute of Mental Health, and later focused on AIDS research as assistant director of
the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
From 2005 to 2009, Dr. Hamburg was the senior scientist at the Nuclear Threat Initiative, a foundation dedicated to reducing the
threat to public safety from nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. From 2001 to 2005, as the foundation’s vice president for bio-
logical programs, she advocated for broad reforms to confront the dangers of modern bioterrorism as well as the threats of naturally
occurring infectious diseases such as pandemic flu.
In 1997, Dr. Hamburg accepted the position of assistant secretary for policy and evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services. In 1994, she was elected to the membership in the Institute of Medicine, one of the youngest persons to be so
honored.
From 1991 to 1997, Dr. Hamburg served as commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. In this
position, she improved services for women and children, promoted needle-exchange programs to reduce the spread of HIV, and
initiated the nation’s first public health bioterrorism defense program. Her most celebrated achievement was curbing the spread of
tuberculosis, which resurged as a major public health threat in the 1990s. As a result of Dr. Hamburg’s reforms, New York City’s
TB rate fell significantly over a five-year span. Her innovative approach, which included sending health care workers to patients’
homes to make sure they completed the drug regimen, is now a model for health departments worldwide.

Honoree

Health Center (BMS) of the Brownsville Community Development Corporation, based
in Brooklyn, New York. A graduate of Cornell University and the Boston University School
of Medicine, Dr. Golar completed her internal medicine training at Montefiore Medical Center’s
Residency Program in Social Medicine in 1993 and has worked in Community Health since
that time.

and alternative medicine into her primary care adult medical practice for six years. Throughout her career, Dr. Golar has taught,

BMS is a free-standing, federally funded community health center accredited by the Joint Commission. Created to serve the communities
of Ocean Hill, Brownsville and East New York—three of the most resource-challenged neighborhoods of New York City—BMS
embraces the philosophy of integrative health care, offering medical, dental and counseling services across the life cycle, as well
as a variety of programs designed to meet the needs of a diverse community. In 2003, BMS was chosen to be the lead agency in
the development of WATCH (World Academy for Total Community Health) a new high school designed to help young people
achieve academic excellence with a focus on total community health. WATCH graduated its first class in June 2008.
In addition to her Health Center responsibilities, Dr. Golar is a member of the Board of Directors of Affinity Health Plan, an
independent, not-for-profit Health Maintenance Organization founded in 1986 to meet the needs of low-income New Yorkers.
She is also a member of the New York State Medical Advisory Committee, appointed by Governor David Paterson in May 2008
to serve as one of 20 members from various parts of the state who provide the New York State Department of Health Office of
Medicaid Management with advice and recommendations concerning health and medical care services provided under the Medicaid
Program.

About PCDC
Our Mission... Primary care is essential to improving
health outcomes, lowering costs, and reducing health disparities.
Founded in 1993, PCDC is a unique nonprofit organization dedicated
to ensuring that every community has timely and effective access
to primary care. Our goal is to increase the capacity and quality of
primary care in underserved communities to achieve our vision of
"Excellent Healthcare in Every Neighborhood."
Invest. . . We provide the capital to upgrade outmoded equipment,

expand offices, and build new facilities, which leads to better services for more
patients. PCDC is the only nonprofit in New York State, and the largest of
only a handful in the U.S., specializing in primary care financing. PCDC has
created investments of over $255 million to finance more than 80 primary care
projects that have a direct impact on the health and economy of communities. This
investment has created 2,200 permanent jobs and built or renovated 650,000
square feet of space. As a result, these facilities now serve an additional 575,000
patients and can now accommodate 1.7 million medical visits annually.

Strengthen . . . We help providers use new technologies,
streamline operations, and implement patient-centered approaches
that strengthen their businesses and help build effective “medical
homes.” Using proven strategies that directly align with Patient-Centered
Medical Home principles, PCDC’s Practice Redesign program has
coached more than 200 primary care teams to implement changes that
improve patient flow and optimize staff and provider capacity to
deliver truly patient-centered care. PCDC’s Health Information Technology program helps providers prepare
for and adjust to the challenges of implementing electronic medical records (EMR) in primary care settings.
A founding member of the Primary Care Health Information Consortium, PCDC works with partners
throughout New York and has helped dozens of primary care practices adopt and implement their EMRs.
PCDC’s Emergency Preparedness program has trained more than 2,000 health workers and helped hundreds of
primary care centers in New York and throughout the country prepare for emergencies – from blackouts and
floods, to pandemic flu, to biochemical attacks.
Lead . . . Informed by a wealth of on-the-ground experience, we

conduct advocacy and communications efforts, including working with
leaders in the public and private sectors, publishing research and reports, and
promoting policies that strengthen primary care in underserved communities.
A co-founder of the Primary Care Coalition, PCDC is playing a key role in
catalyzing historic policy changes that strengthen primary care in New York
and ensuring that we take full advantage of healthcare reform opportunities.

Dear Friends:
I am delighted to send greetings to all gathered at elegant Bridgewaters in Downtown Manhattan

for the Fifth Annual Spring Gala of Primary Care Development Corporation (PCDC).
The Empire State places a high priority on quality healthcare for its citizens and appreciates
resources that expand the availability of medical services for people of all means and backgrounds.
Realizing this important goal has been the mission of PCDC for more than ten years, as it works to
bring primary and preventive care to underserved communities across New York State through innovative
programs and strategies.
Expanding regional facilities certainly adds a vital and essential component to New York State’s
comprehensive healthcare delivery system. It is also important to provide the most effective treatment for
people and I commend PCDC for its role in developing a full range of health services, and offering advocacy
and compassionate support to those of various needs.
This occasion brings together many generous individuals who share a commitment to PCDC’s
valuable mission and I applaud everyone present for their pursuit of such important work. I am also
very pleased to join in congratulating this year’s distinguished honorees – Katherine A. Golar, M.D.,

healthcare, benefiting both patients and local facilities across this State.

Dear Friends:
It is a great pleasure to welcome all those attending the Fifth Annual Spring Gala, hosted
by the Primary Care Development Corporation.
In New York City, we know that nothing is more important than the health and wellbeing
of our residents. That’s why our Administration has worked hard to improve health care access
and eliminate health care disparities facing New Yorkers, and it’s why we’ve promoted
innovative public health policies that help our residents live longer, healthier lives. Since its
establishment in 1993, the Primary Care Development Corporation has been a tremendous
partner in our efforts, helping to ensure that all New Yorkers have access to the high-quality care
they need and deserve. From funding primary care facilities to improving the delivery of care,
PCDC has made a significant difference in the lives and futures of so many of our residents. I’m
delighted to join everyone gathered in applauding its tremendous accomplishments and
commending this year’s honorees—David Snow and Drs. Margaret A. Hamburg, Herbert Pardes,
and Katherine Golar—for their commitment to its vital mission.
My best wishes for an enjoyable event and continued success!

Dear Friends,
Congratulations to the Primary Care Development Corporation (PCDC) on your Annual

Spring Gala Dinner!
As Speaker of the New York City Council, I’m so happy to send my heartiest
congratulations and greetings to you and your guests tonight.
As you know, increasing access to primary care has been one of the Council’s top
priorities, and we’re so proud of the work that we’ve done with you in this critical area.
From our successful Primary Care Initiative to our efforts to bring state-of-the-art
healthcare facilities directly into neighborhoods with severe healthcare shortages, PCDC
has been a great ally and a tremendous resource in our fight to create a better healthcare
experience for all New Yorkers.
On this special night of celebration, I want to thank all of you for the incredibly important
work you doing in our communities. New York City is without a doubt a healthier place
thanks to your leadership and support, and we’re so deeply grateful for your service.
I also want take a moment to recognize tonight’s honorees: David Snow, Dr. Herbert
Pardes, Dr. Katherine Golar, and last but certainly not least our esteemed Food and Drug
Administration Commissioner, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg.
Congratulations once again. I wish you all the very best for a wonderful evening!
Sincerely,
Christine C. Quinn

When you’re part of a community, every molecule matters. When the

the sniffles, the whole class gets sick. At UnitedHealthcare, we believe
that your health and the health of your community are inseparable.
That’s why we’re dedicated to making health care more accessible
