South Nassau Communities Hospital to honor Rockville Centre defense attorney

Attorney Robert G. Morvillo, a resident of Rockville Centre, will be the honoree of South Nassau Communities Hospital’s 2010 Annual Carnation Ball set for Nov. 6 at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City.  

The Carnation Ball honoree is recognized for exemplary leadership and contributions in support of South Nassau’s mission to provide cost-effective, high-quality healthcare. Morvillo has served on South Nassau’s board of directors since 2004 and administrators there say his support and generosity have helped South Nassau continue to achieve unprecedented growth despite a tumultuous economic environment for New York’s hospitals. SNCH’s growth is highlighted by:

the opening of South Nassau’s centers for Cardiovascular Health and for Advanced Orthopedics and Long Island Joint Replacement Institute

the introduction of state-of-the art medical technologies such as the Varian Novalis Tx (the medical industry’s most advanced radiosurgery system), the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System and advanced medical treatments including minimally-invasive joint replacement surgery, laparoscopic weight-loss surgery and elective angioplasty. 

Morvillo is a member of the New York City law firm of Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason, Anello & Bohrer, PC. Recognized as one of the most experienced white-collar criminal defense attorneys in the country, Morvillo received the New York Council of Defense Lawyers’ Norman Ostrow Award for his significant contribution to the practice of defense law in March 2000 and is listed in Chambers USA – America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, The Best Lawyers in America, and New York Magazine – The New York Area’s Best Lawyers. He was also included among the Top 10 lawyers in New York Super Lawyers – Manhattan Edition and was named Business Crime Lawyer of 2006 by The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers.

Proceeds raised by the event will support South Nassau’s Center for Advanced Orthopedics and Long Island Joint Replacement Institute. To purchase tickets or to serve as a sponsor of the 2010 Carnation Ball, call South Nassau’s Development office or Jillian Simeone at (516) 377-5360.
