Nutley Health Department Clinic Dedication on Thursday

Nutley's Commissioner Steven Rogers will join the staff of the Public Affairs Department and the family of Nurse Angelica (Vitillo) Costa, on Thursday, April 25 at 5 pm to formally dedicate the Health Department Clinic to Nurse Costa.

Mrs. Costa served in the military during the end of WWII through the Vietnam War. Costa, who passed away in 2002, is a 2007 Nutley Hall of Fame recipient. 

In a statement to the press, Commissioner Rogers said, “It is an honor for me to dedicate our health clinic to a woman who has distinguished herself in manyways during times of war and peace. Captain Costa is a role model for women not only who live in Nutley, but for women around the world.  

Her professional excellence and trailblazing career in the United States Navy and medical field has touched the lives of countless people from the greatest generation to our generation. We now pass her legacy on to the next generation by dedicating this health clinic in her name.”

The dedication was originally scheduled for March but was postponed because of weather concerns.
