Assemblymember Kevin A. Cahill (D-Ulster, Dutchess) had the honor of speaking today at a dedication ceremony celebrating the life and accomplishments of Jane VanDeBogart. “Jane was a friend and leader in our community whose tireless efforts touched all those around her,” Assemblymember Cahill said.
As a tribute to Ms. VanDeBogart, Health Care STAT dedicated a bench, a plaque, and funded beautification in the new garden area at the Foxhall Ambulatory Surgery Center located next to Kingston Hospital. Ms. VanDeBogart is a co-founder of Health Care STAT, a Kingston-based community organization whose goal is to protect women’s health. Assemblymember Cahill said, “This memorial to Jane is fitting because her humanistic spirit and sense of individual responsibility leaves behind a legacy which will last as a comfort to all she served and befriended.”
“Jane was an individual of high moral character imbued with a sense of ambition. With her hard work, the Health Alliance, Inc. merger was made possible,” Assemblymember Cahill said.
Jane VanDeBogart of Woodstock, New York, lifelong activist died on February 16, 2008, at the age of 67.
