CDPHP Honors 'Terrific 25'
CDPHP recently celebrated its 25th anniversary by recognizing the dedicated public service and generosity of 25 individuals and community organizations whose extraordinary efforts have made the Capital Region – and the world – a better place. A reception honoring this group – dubbed the CDPHP ‘Terrific 25’ – was held at the Fort Orange Club in Albany on June 11, 2009.  Since our organization’s founding – by Dr. Jack Carter and a core group of physicians dedicated to improving health care delivery in the region – CDPHP has demonstrated its commitment to the communities it serves, touching the lives of countless people and supporting a host of worthwhile programs and organizations. Our silver anniversary seemed a fitting occasion to honor those who have modeled that same spirit of sustained generosity and stewardship and, in the process, contributed to the vibrancy of our community.

- American Red Cross of Northeastern New York
