West Jefferson Hospital Foundation will host a special cocktail reception on Oct. 9, 2020 at the English Turn Golf & Country Club in New Orleans to honor Cullichia with the award. The reception—Cheers to 60 Extraordinary Years – A Night in Black and White—will also be a celebration of West Jefferson Medical Center’s 60th anniversary. Funds raised from the event will benefit the Neurosciences Department.
