Eleven employees from across St. Peter’s Health Partners (SPHP) have been with the network and its legacy organizations for more than 50 years. On May 23, SPHP held a celebration to recognize these members of the “50+ Year Club.” The event took place at Wolferts Roost Country Club in Albany.

Reed, M.D., president and chief executive officer of SPHP, told the members of the 50+ Year Club. “Each of you has made a lasting impact on our community and our organization – both for the patients and families whose lives you have touched, and for all those who were privileged to have worked alongside you through the years.”
