Montefi ore Health System
associates and leaders joined
adjacent to panels from
the AIDS Memorial Quilt on
Thursday, June 27 to recognize
Montefi ore’s longstanding
achievements in HIV/AIDS
treatment and the communal
grief of lives lost in the AIDS
epidemic. In partnership with
The Names Project Foundation,
Montefi ore is currently
displaying panels from the
AIDS Memorial Quilt at three
sites throughout the Bronx:
Montefi ore Moses Campus at
111 E. 210th Street; Montefi ore
Weiler Campus at 1825 Eastchester
Road and Montefi ore
Wakefi eld Campus at 600 E.
233rd Street. Montefi ore is
the only health system participating
in the initiative,
and the only Bronx location
where panels from the quilt
are on display.
