Midway through the event, Jean Shafiroff thanked guests for attending, as well as Steve Bernstein, President of the Southampton Hospital Foundation, for his outstanding job in fundraising, and the Phillips family for their important contribution.

Robert Chaloner, President and CEO of Southampton Hospital, then thanked Jean for her hospitality and said that the year Jean hosted the Hospital’s Annual Summer Party was the most successful to date, raising over $2 million. He then spoke about the creation of the center, saying, “Cancer patients undergoing treatment are often physically weakened, and adding a long trip to and from an appointment only adds to the stress.” He continued, “We are grateful to the Phillips family for making cancer treatment closer to home for many patients on the East End of Long Island.”
