Healthcare Heroes Nominations
Through Jul. 29: In the spring of 2017, BusinessWest and its sister pub- lication, the Healthcare News, cre- ated a new and exciting recognition program called Healthcare Heroes.
It was launched with the theory that there are heroes working all across this region’s wide, deep, and all- important healthcare sector, and that there was no shortage of fascinat-
ing stories to tell and individuals and groups to honor. That theory has certainly been validated. But there
are hundreds, perhaps thousands of heroes whose stories we still need
to tell. And that’s where you come
in. Nominations for the class of 2023 are due Saturday, July 29, and we encourage you to get involved and help recognize someone you consider to be a hero in the community we
call Western Mass. in one (or more)
of these seven categories: Patient/ Resident/Client Care Provider; Health/ Wellness Administrator/Administra- tion; Emerging Leader; Community Health; Innovation in Health/Wellness; Collaboration in Health/Wellness; and Lifetime Achievement. Nominations can be submitted at businesswest. com/healthcare-heroes/nominations. For more information, contact Melissa Hallock at (413) 781-8600, ext. 100, or [email protected].

Zonta Palooza
Aug. 6: The Zonta Club of Northamp- ton will host Zonta Palooza, a STEM scholarship music fundraiser at
BusinessWest
Northampton Center for the Arts,
33 Hawley St., in memory of Lynn Goodhue, a STEM pioneer who served with distinction at all levels of Zonta International. According to Zonta Northampton Club President Seren Derin, the event emcee will be Judith Fine, former owner of Gazebo in Northampton. The music lineup will include a mix of swing, blues, folk, and soul from Blackbird & Applegate, Lou- ise Mosrie Coombe, and the O-Tones Trio, local musicians with a significant following. There will be refreshments
and raffle prizes, from a quilt created by a friend of Zonta to gift certifi- cates donated by local businesses. Visit northampton.zontadistrict1.org/ zonta-palooza to register. Suggested donations are $20 to $100, payable by Venmo @zontaclubnoho; by check payable to Zonta Northampton, P.O. Box 1034, Belchertown, MA 01007;
or by cash to a Zonta member before the event or at the door. The event committee hopes sponsors will help cover expenses so that all donations can be used to fund the scholarship in
Goodhue’s name for a local woman pursuing a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) degree program at an accredited uni- versity, college, or other institution.
