Community activists and philanthropists, Dr. Ben and Jean Galloway, and Russ Dispense, President and CEo of King Soopers and City Market, were highlighted as Denver Health Foundation Stars. The evening’s program was additionally meaningful when Denver Health CEo, Dr. Patricia Gabow was honored. Dr. Gabow has transformed what was once an ailing city-owned hospital into an independent, efficient health care system that now serves as a model for the nation. Dr. Gabow will be retiring in September of 2012. The event leadership was provided by tremendous community leaders: Steve Farber, President and Managing Partner of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, as the event chair; Pat Cortez, Senior Vice President, Public Relations of Wells Fargo Bank; Chuck Morris, President and CEo of AEG live Rocky Mountains; and former Mayor Wellington Webb, President of Webb Group International, as the event cochairs – all of whom were the key to its success.
