Jefferson Health – New Jersey Board Chairman Albert E. Smith was recently honored for his years of dedication at a recent ceremony at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital.

There, Joseph W. Devine, FACHE, President of Jefferson – New Jersey, along with members of the Kennedy Health Care Foundation, helped dedicate a reflection pond in Smith’s honor in front of the hospital.

The recognition follows Al Smith’s recent $100,000 donation to the Foundation, whose Executive Director, Michelle Gollapalli, MBA, CFRE, CAP, said Smith is “always making sure people know there is strong leadership” at Jefferson Health.

“Al’s dedication and commitment has always been about the community he grew up in, the Cherry Hill community,” Devine said of Smith, who has been a Board member for more than three decades.
