Dimensions In Preformance Awards Recipients
Set For Annual MVH Gala

Recognition of four individuals and one of the region’s most distinguished law firms with Dimensions In Performance awards will highlight Monongahela Valley Hospital’s twenty-second annual Gala.

The event, sponsored by the Mon-Vale Health Resources Fund Development Committee, will be held Saturday, May 22 at the Westin Convention Center and Hotel in Pittsburgh. A Tropical Getaway will be the theme, and the event will feature entertainment by the Caribbean Vibes Steelband and Pure Gold.

The 2010 recipients of Dimensions In Performance honors are:

Rose Award for Dimensions In Philanthropy – The Washington, PA law firm of Peacock Keller will be recognized for its many years of benevolence to the health system and other charitable community causes. Attorney Jonathan G. Higie, managing partner at Peacock Keller, will accept the award on behalf of the firm which serves as legal counsel to the hospital. The Rose Award is presented in honor and memory of Mrs. Rose Sweeney Melenyzer, a longtime benefactor of the health system and other community causes.
Pallone Award for Dimensions In Board Leadership – R. Carlyn Belczyk of Monessen was elected to the Board of Directors of Mon-Vale Health Resources, Inc., parent company of MVH, and to the hospital’s Board of Trustees in 2005. She has been secretary of the boards since July 1, 2007. A certified public accountant, Mrs. Belczyk is a partner with Randy Guthrie in Guthrie, Belczyk & Associates, PC of Washington. The board leadership award was created as a memorial to the late Dr. Joseph J. Pallone, who served as a Trustee on the Hospital Board from 1964 to 1985 and who also served on the MVHR Board from its inception in 1982 until 1985. He was president of both boards at the time of his death in 1985.
Sickman-Levin Award for Dimensions In Medicine – R.G. Krishnan, M.D, a cardiologist, of Venetia will be honored for his 32 years of service as a member of the Medical Staff at Monongahela Valley Hospital. A physician for 38 years, Dr. Krishnan is a longtime member of the Medical Staff’s Executive Committee and is currently serving his second year as president of that group. Also a member of the MVHR Board of Directors, he is a partner in Mon Valley Medical Associates, P.C. in Carroll Township. The award was established to honor the health system’s physicians and as a memorial to the late Drs. Albert S. Sickman and Herbert J. Levin for their many outstanding contributions to health care in the mid-Monongahela Valley.
The Gibbons Award for Dimensons In Service for the Health, Social and Civic Well-Being of Area Residents – Dr. Angelo Armenti Jr. and his wife Barbara will be honored for their active involvement in many community advocacy programs. Dr. Armenti, president of California University of Pennsylvania, has been a member of the Mon-Vale Health Resources Board of Directors since 1993. He and Mrs. Armenti have championed myriad programs in the Mon Valley and beyond. These include, but are not limited to, United Way, American Heart Association and scholarship endowments at California University. The award was created as a memorial to Eugene Gibbons, whose legacy to the commitment of health care spanned 55 years as an officer and member of the board.

Dimensions In Performance awards were created in 1988 to recognize outstanding achievements to Monongahela Valley Hospital and the health system at large. They symbolize the multi-dimensional talents of special friends, benefactors and members of Team MVH who have distinguished themselves in the areas of philanthropy, board leadership, medicine, and civic well-being.

“We are very pleased to honor Peacock Keller, Mrs. Belczyk, Dr. Krishnan and Dr. and Mrs. Armenti for their commitment to our health system’s goals and ideals,” Louis J. Panza Jr., president and chief executive officer of Monongahela Valley Hospital, said. “They truly epitomize all of the qualities symbolized in the awards they will receive.”

Gala 22, which is open to the public, will begin with a cocktail and hors d’oeuvres reception at 6 p.m. Dinner at 7 p.m. in the Allegheny Ballroom of the Westin will be followed by dancing to the music of Pure Gold. Tickets are $150 per person and tables of 10 are available.
