Memorial Medical Center postpones Premier gala

Event will now take place in April 2022

Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center announced it will postpone its signature black tie gala, the Premier, due to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.

The event, which was scheduled to take place on Saturday, Jan. 15, will now take place on Saturday, April 30, 2022, at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, 310 Fourth St., Niagara Falls.

NFMMC said, “With the current uptick in COVID-19 cases and admissions, the health and safety of the community is of utmost importance.”

The annual event, which traditionally hosts over 900 guests from throughout Western New York, honors and recognizes individuals who have made a lasting impact on the community. The

2022 honorees are Memorial’s chief of infectious disease division, Rajinder Bajwa, M.D.; and philanthropist Russell J. Salvatore.

Proceeds from the 2022 Premier will go directly toward the Medical Center’s many programs and services. For more information, call 716-278-4605.
