"Under the Big Top" at Winthrop's 2007 Gala

It was a thrilling celebration “Under the Big Top” as the magic of the Big Apple Circus transformed the 2007 Gala into a fun-filled evening that was enjoyed by all. Nearly 700 friends and supporters of Winthrop-University Hospital gathered on October 20, 2007 to recognize two exceptional individuals for their years of devoted service to Winthrop – Theodora Winthrop Hooton, a dedicated member of the Hospital’s Board of Directors, and Joseph Greco, MD, Chairman of Winthrop’s Department of Anesthesiology.  The event raised close to $700,000 in support of the Hospital and its world-class programs.

           Theodora Winthrop Hooton is a long-time supporter of Winthrop-University Hospital and its programs and services. She has been a generous supporter of the Hospital’s Pastoral Care Department and its Chaplaincy Program, including in the planning and development of the new Serenity Chapel, which is currently under construction. Mrs. Hooton has offered tireless service to the Hospital’s Board of Directors for more than a decade, continuing a family legacy of community service begun by her father, the late Robert Winthrop, for whom the Hospital is named.

Joseph Greco, MD, is Chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology at Winthrop-University Hospital, as well as an active lecturer and mentor in the Hospital’s Continuing Medical Education program. He leads a team of approximately 40 anesthesiologists and 15 certified nurse anesthetists who are responsible for providing anesthesia services for all patients in Winthrop’s inpatient surgical center and two ambulatory surgery centers, as well as for patients requiring anesthetics in Labor and Delivery, endoscopy, MRI/CT scans and special procedures. The Department also encompasses the Hospital’s Pain Management Program, which has delivered immeasurable relief to countless patients suffering from chronic pain.

Dr. Greco is also active in clinical trials research as well as basic biomedical research and has published his findings in prestigious peer-reviewed journals. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology and is a member of the American Society of Anesthesia and a delegate with the New York Society of Anesthesiologists.
