CORTLANDT MANOR, N.Y. – Hudson Valley Hospital Center’s Kathy Webster, Vice President  of patient services, was among 18 women honored by the Professional Women of Putnam on Feb. 3.

“It was a really lovely event, and a great honor,” said Webster, who was nominated for the Women in Leadership Award in the nonprofit sector. The award was given to Amy Sayegh, founder and Director of Community Cares in Mahopac.

Webster, who has been with Hudson Valley Hospital Center for 35 years, was among the women nominated for a “Putnam County Women of Excellence” award. She and 17 other nominees were feted by the organization at a dinner at the Putnam National Golf Club in Mahopac on Friday, Feb. 3.
