A Night to Remember: BOHV 2024

On September 26, 2024, we had a fantastic evening at the Best of Hudson Valley Party, celebrating our recognition as Best Acupuncture in the Hudson Valley! Some of our dedicated staff members—Nancy, Tammy, Jorge, Susan, Amber, Kay, and Seaira—were there to join in the festivities.

 

The atmosphere was vibrant and festive as Jorge treated attendees to free 10-minute massages, providing a relaxing escape amidst the festivities. Tammy offered complimentary 10-minute laser sessions, showcasing some of the innovative treatments we provide at Pellegrino Healing Center.

 

We hosted an exciting raffle featuring a $125 gift certificate and a wellness basket, with one lucky winner walking away with these fantastic prizes! The delicious food and drinks provided by the various "Best Of" winners truly enhanced the overall enjoyment of the evening.
