Many thanks to all those who supported our "Food for Thought" Breakfast, held at the Cosmopolitan Club on October 16th!

Our special guest speaker, Dr. Richard Besser, Chief Health and Medical Editor at ABC News, provided lively and thought-provoking commentary and insights into a number of health issues that have been in the news recently. And the Q & A portion immediately following Dr. Besser's remarks really gave the audience a chance to be involved in the discussion.

We chose some great snapshots of the Breakfast to share:

The breast surgery team at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia: Dr. Bret Taback, Dr. Preya Ananthakrishnan, Dr. Sheldon Feldman and his wife, and Dr. Margaret Chen.
