HOSPITAL RAISES $113,000

“Merci Beaucoup!” was the phrase of the evening as the Bristol Hospital Auxiliary held its “Evening in Paris” themed ball at the Aqua Turf in Plantsville. The event raised more than $113,000 net to benefit the Bristol Hospital Cardiology Program. The event was co-chaired by registered nurses Ann Robinson and Diana Oberg with Dr. Michael Whaley as honorary chair.
