SOLUTION

The inspiring evening honored and celebrated New York City communities and the healthcare heroes of the Northwell Health hospital system.

FIRST creatively directed the program, scripted on-camera talent, established video footage, edited all video segments, and designed the staging of the rooftop location at Lenox Hill Hospital. We managed the virtual platform for the livestream, creating a seamless experience for attendees to enjoy the event online.

The program featured special performances from award-winning actress, singer and songwriter Cynthia Erivo, Travis Wall and headliner Harry Connick, Jr to create excitement and tie back to the New York City theme.
