Dedicated Volunteer Physician named Honorary Chair of Caridad Center's "A Night in Old Havana"

Caridad Center is delighted to announce Dr. William and Nancy Earnhart as the Honorary Chairmen of the 2009 Gala, "A Night in Old Havana" . This event will take place on October 30, 2009 at The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach. Dr. Earnhart has been volunteering at Caridad Center's Medical Clinic since 1995, when the organization operated out of a small trailer. Dr. Earnhart was one of the first doctors at Bethesda Memorial Hospital and eventually served as Persident of the Medical Staff until he retired in 1993. The Earnhart Family has deep roots in our local community helping many people through their involvement with different charities. Dr. Earnhart continues to be a dedicated volunteer at Caridad Center every Tuesday, and helps many patients in need of medical care who, without insurance, have no where else to go.
