Woman’s Board of Day Kimball Hospital raises $18,700 toward $250,000 pledge

PUTNAM — The Woman’s Board of Day Kimball Hospital raised $18,700 at its ninth annual Valentine Dinner Dance to support its $250,000 pledge toward the hospital’s da Vinci Robotic Surgical System. The event was held Saturday, Feb. 8, at Wright’s Mill Farm with 100 guests in attendance despite inclement weather.

Since its acquisition in September 2022, the surgical system has been used in more than 500 procedures at Day Kimball Hospital. To date, the Woman’s Board has contributed more than $143,000 toward its commitment.

“I am grateful to our dedicated Woman’s Board members for their unwavering support and commitment to raising funds for Day Kimball Hospital,” said Valentine Iamartino, president of the Woman’s Board. “A special thank you to Linnea Sarantopoulos and Arlene Baril for their leadership in organizing another successful Valentine Dinner Dance. The generosity of our community and sponsors makes our mission possible, and we appreciate their continued support.”

The evening featured a buffet dinner followed by music and dancing with DJ John DonFrancisco.

The Woman’s Board, which consists of 155 members, has raised nearly $2 million since the early 1900s to enhance patient services and fund hospital equipment needs. These contributions help Day Kimball Hospital expand access to advanced healthcare in Northeast Connecticut.
