The Westmoreland/Frick Foundation's Black Tie for Hearts Gala Celebrates 50 Years

An unforgettable evening commemorating 50 years of healthcare excellence at Westmoreland Hospital! The room was filled with old friends and new friends, all coming together for one night - one great cause!

The Westmoreland/Frick Hospital Foundation's Black Tie for Hearts Gala was held on Saturday, March 21st, 2026 at the Greensburg Country Club. The evening featured fast-paced casino games, great prizes, music, cocktails, and exceptional food. Independence Health System's past and present leadership were all on hand to celebrate with a champagne toast sponsored by the Charley Family. Click here to view the event photo gallery.

Proceeds from this year's event will directly support the addition of a fifth hybrid electrophysiology (EP) lab at Westmoreland Hospital, continuing excellence in cardiology and ensuring access to state-of-the art care for patients and families.
