From left are principal Stephen Miller, Ricapito (with Amber), president Jennifer Reap, and Watson. (Photo provided)
HONOR FOR HASTINGS — The Hastings Center in Garrison and its late co-founder Dan Callahan were honored by the Collaborative for Palliative Care at its annual conference on Dec. 12 at Iona College.

Solomon, right, is shown with CPC founder Mary Beth Quaranta Morrissey and Hastings fellow Joseph Fins. (Photo provided)
