For a healthy Houston

Demetra and Frank Jones, Rob and Amy Pierce, Scott and Lorraine Wegmann, Jamie and Suzanne McCarthy and Geraldina and Scott Wise joined fellow supporters for the Memorial Hermann No Mountain High Enough Gala at the Hilton Americas-Houston. Chaired by Hallie Vanderhider and honoring Melinda and Greg Armstrong, Linda and Willie Chiang, and Jane and Harry Pefanis, the event raised $4.8 million. Before chef Aaron Bludorn’s four-course dinner was served, a choir of Memorial Hermann clinicians and staff, alongside the Ernest Walker Band, performed “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” setting the stage for the evening’s program. Guests also heard from Dr. David Callender, president and chief executive officer of Memorial Hermann Health System, and Anne Neeson, Memorial Hermann Foundation executive vice president and chief executive officer, about the hospital system’s efforts to benefit the health of Greater Houston.
