About The Spence Family Women's Heart and Pregnancy Program
LVHN’s Heart and Pregnancy Program, named after the Spence family following their gift in 2024, is the region’s first and one of only a few in the country. The program, part of Lehigh Valley Heart and Vascular Institute, gives women access to a specialized team that manages high-risk pregnancy and heart disease or a heart-related condition that develops before, during and after pregnancy.
About The Michael and Christine Perrucci Center for Children's Health and Well-Being
Established in 2022, the Michael and Christine Perrucci Center for Children’s Health and Well-Being builds on Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital’s ongoing work throughout the region to improve health outcomes for children and adolescents. By centralizing resources and expertise, the Perrucci Center leads the coordination of efforts with community partners to provide health education and interventions for children of all ages.
About Chris Cree, Master of Wine
Founder and Managing Partner, Cree Wine Company
Chris Cree began his career in the wine trade in 1979 when he took a year off from his studies to travel through various wine regions. One year became many, and since then he has worked in virtually every facet of the wine trade, including retail, wholesale, import, restaurant and as an educator. In 1996, Cree became the 16th American to earn the distinction of being called a Master of Wine (MW). He remains New Jersey’s sole MW; there are none in Pennsylvania. In 2021, Cree launched the Cree Wine Company, a wine bar, wine school, private event space and retail wine seller in Hunterdon County, NJ.
