On October 1, 2016, Dr. Coccaro attended the Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center‘s 60th Diamond Anniversary Gala at Sand’s Point. The gala honored the Knapp and Rose families, as well as Isabella Rossellini. Dr. Coccaro was on hand to congratulate his colleague Dr. Badri Nath, who won the Dr. Dranitzke Award. This award is given each year to an individual who demonstrates involvement, support, and commitment to his profession, the Medical Center, and the community.
This event raised over $600,000 for the expanded Knapp Cardiac Care Center. At the end of the night, guests enjoyed a magnificent fireworks display overlooking the Long Island Sound.
