Hannah Brooks, The Wherehouse to be honored by Downing Park committee By SHANTAL RILEY [email protected] The Downing Park Planning Committee has announced it will honor Dr. Hannah Brooks and The Wherehouse owners Michele Basch and Dan Brown at an upcoming Downing Park annual fundraising event. The city residents are being recognized for years of contributions to culture and economic development in the City of Newburgh. The 1920s-themed gala event will be on Saturday, July 14. The gala takes place at the newly-opened Shelter House Café, located next to the Polly Pond at Downing Park. “Our goal was to make the park a destination once again,” said committee member Stephen Sinnott on the café opening and other attractions to be unveiled at the park. Hannah Brooks Brooks is a breast-cancer surgeon affiliated with Orange Regional Medical Center and St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital. A native of Queens, she moved to the Washington Heights neighborhood in 2005. According to the committee, Brooks “expanded and enhanced clinical and community services” at both hospitals.
