Bhalinder Rikhye of the Mineola-based law firm Bartlett, Mcdonough & Monaghan, LLP, was elected to the board of directors of the NuHealth Foundation last week.
“I feel honored to have been elected to join the NuHealth Foundation’s Board of Directors and thank the directors for their confidence,” Rikhye said.
The NuHealth Foundation is part of the NuHealth System, a network of healthcare providers in Nassau County that includes the Nassau University Medical Center, A. Holly Patterson extended Care Facility, NuHealth Family Health Centers, and Nassau Medical Associates and raises funds to support healthcare services.
Rikhye, who has worked in healthcare law for 30 years, has represented physicians and hospitals in the Greater New York area.
“We are proud of Mr. Rikhye’s many years of dedicated service to the healthcare industry and we are confident that he will contribute greatly to the mission of the NuHealth Foundation,” said Anthony Barbier, managing partner at Bartlett, McDonough & Monaghan.
In addition to practicing law in New York State, Rikhye practices law in India. He is a graduate of Columbia College and Queens College, and the University of Cambridge in England where he received his law degree.
“The Foundation has played a critical role in helping the NuHealth System deliver healthcare services to a broad cross-section of the larger Long Island community,” Rikhye said. “I look forward to participating in the work of the Foundation to continue its efforts towards this important mission.”
