The buzzy party was full of whimsical musical moments from Abdul that all began with a stunning sunset overlooking one of the Hamptons most charming landscapes. A bevy of bliss took over the night with the now time-honored party. SHE was held in Water Mill, NY, at the residence of Victoria Moran-Furman, who hosted alongside presenting sponsors Iris and Saul Katz, the benefactors of Northwell’s Katz Institute, Eric Moran, and celebrity event planner Larry Scott of Lawrence Scott Events.
As the exquisite dinner began an enlightening conversation was emceed by Rosanna Scotto, anchor of “Good Day New York” on WNYW-Fox 5 News and took place with Stacey E. Rosen, MD, senior vice president of women’s health at the Katz Institute and the Partners Council Professor of Women’s Health, and Jeannine Villella, MD, director of the Northwell Cancer Institute for Manhattan and chief of gynecologic oncology at Lenox Hill Hospital.
“We are building on the success of our ability to treat women differently by investing in research and clinical trials that will help us expand seamless, specialized cancer care and amplify a new standard of care for patients across Northwell,” said Dr. Rosen. “We are continually looking for new and meaningful ways to improve the health of women.”
SHE supports Northwell’s Outpacing the Impossible campaign, a comprehensive $1.4 billion fundraising effort that supports Northwell’s promise to the people it serves. The campaign’s objectives include improving hospitals and clinical programs, accelerating research and funding endowment.

With empowering moments like this and special nights like, SHE, women now have better access to quality cancer care in two new locations: The Center for Women’s Cancer on Long Island will leverage the expertise of Katz-certified clinicians and support women at risk for or diagnosed with breast and gynecologic cancers. In Manhattan, anchored by the innovative programs of the Northwell Cancer Institute, the new Northwell Medical Pavilion at 77th Street – to be completed in 2025 – will transform outpatient care delivery to treat women’s cancers.
“Northwell serves the largest number of cancer patients in New York state, and our unique philosophy of care ensures that we treat not just the cancer but the whole person,” said Dr. Villella. “We are committed to providing leading-edge innovative treatments and therapies, as well as numerous support programs, to help our patients and their families through this difficult journey.”
