The 4th Annual Oswego Health Foundation Gala in November raised over $149,000 to support local healthcare and the newly created Oswego Health Foundation endowment fund.
During the program, Oswego Health presented three awards:
• The 2023 Community Partner Award was presented to ConnextCare. For over 50 years, ConnextCare has been providing a family-oriented healthcare practice for Oswego and surrounding county residents. It offers a variety of comprehensive health care services in a timely and efficient manner.
• The 2023 Physician of the Year Award was presented to urologists Elizabeth and Gary Bozeman. The Bozemans have made a profound impact on the community, serving countless patients and families with their expertise and care, according to a hospital’s press release.
• Jody Wood received the 2023 Oswego Health Nurse of the Year Award. As operating room director since early 2020, Wood skillfully guided her team through two pandemic-related shutdowns, successfully rebuilding the nursing team. She balanced increased volumes with an unwavering commitment to patient safety and quality, resulting in OR volumes exceeding pre-pandemic levels.
