Overcast Glen Cove SAGE Foundation honors Barbara Keber
The Glen Cove SAGE Foundation honored Glen Cove Hospital’s Dr. Barbara Keber, chair of the hospital’s Family Medicine Department, along with the entire Family Medicine Team at the foundation’s Annual Golf Outing held on June 5 at Glen Cove’s The Metropolitan.
Keber, who has been with Glen Cove Hospital for close to 40 years, chairs the Family Medicine Department and has made a profound impact on the community.
“When we were deciding on prospective candidates to honor at this year’s Golf Classic, Dr. Keber’s name kept coming up over and over again,” said Liz Luciano, who co-chairs the event Jean Marie Stalzer.
“Dr. Keber is a pioneer in her field and is also just a beautiful person,” Stalzer added. “She was the perfect choice for this year’s outing.”
The Glen Cove SAGE Foundation, with a mission to support the Glen Cove Senior Center and Adult Day Program, was established in 2005. While the volunteer-based nonprofit organization functions year-round and is always accepting donations, the annual golf outing is its primary fundraiser.
“We are always so very appreciative of the support of the community not only at our outing but also throughout the year,” said Carolynn Eipel, who took the reins as president of the organization in January of 2022.
Close to 200 guests attended this year’s outing and dinner. The golfing portion of the event was held at the Glen Cove Golf Course with lunch served at The View Grill. The dinner portion of the event was held at Glen Cove’s The Metropolitan.
“The support makes a giant impact on our ability to serve the senior community and it is heartwarming to see the committee members and volunteers work so hard to make sure the event is an ongoing success,” Christine Rice, Glen Cove Senior Center’s executive director. “We have an incredible board, committee, and team of volunteers all with a common goal to enrich the lives of our aging population. I am always touched by everyone’s commitment.”
