Please join us in congratulating; Gregory Sorrentino President & CEO at the Center, and Stephanie Ostrowski, Volunteer at St. Margaret’s Center, who were each presented with awards last night at the Cerebral Palsy Associations of New York State conference, recognizing their commitment to bettering the lives of individuals with disabilities. ? Stephanie Ostrowski received the Anthony J. Koenig Volunteer Award in recognition of her heartfelt volunteerism at St. Margaret’s Center. Stephanie became part of the St. Margaret’s family through her daughter who lived with us for 16 years and has remained involved through our volunteer program. Stephanie does anything she can to better the lives of everyone involved with St. Margaret’s Center; whether that means being a support to the people who live and work there, engaging with families, or as a mentor to our other volunteers. She is consistent in providing words of encouragement and provides insight when it comes to advocating for and understanding people’s needs or interests. ? Greg Sorrentino received the Susan Constantino Leadership Award in recognition of his efforts to address healthcare inequities for people with disabilities. Greg works relentlessly to educate governmental funding agencies and our leaders and legislators on the critical role our clinics provide in delivering accessible services, and the inadequacy in funding to perform services. Through these efforts, Greg continues to successfully increase awareness and education of the importance of respecting and valuing services for all people with disabilities, their families, and those who support them. ? We appreciate and respect Stephanie and Greg’s passion for what they do and for their efforts to make a difference in so many lives. On behalf of all people with disabilities, their families and staff, thank you for all you do!
