This year's other recipient is Douglas Broadwater, a retired partner with Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and former board chair of VNSNY. "The Visiting Nurse Service of New York is one of America's most respected health care agencies, and it devotes much of its energy to serving the underinsured and the uninsured," said Stacom. "It is a privilege to be recognized by such a highly esteemed organization."
