Maimonides Medical Center holds annual Lunar New Year celebration
Maimonides Medical Center held its 12th annual Lunar New Year Celebration with the help of hospital leaders and performers from local schools.
The event, held at the Schreiber Auditorium in the Eisenstadt Administration Building on Wednesday, February 28, featured the Lion Dance and cultural dances by students from New Utrecht High School and P.S. 105, and the Chinese American Planning Council (CPC) Dance Team.
“The Lunar New Year Celebration is a special moment during the year for Chinese people here and around the world, but it’s also a special moment for us here at Maimonides and to celebrate with the Chinese community is important for us as we reflect on the diversity that we represent and the importance of culture, community and identity as a part of who we are,” President and CEO of Maimonides Kenneth Gibbs said. “At this point in time, it’s also important to celebrate that sense of culture and diversity that’s part of what defines the best of America.
