Saturday evening, May 16, saw many physicians from Brooklyn’s New York Methodist Hospital and its affiliated institutions under the banner of the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System, including Weill Cornell Medical College, turn out for the Hospital’s annual Candlelight Gala event. The event was held at the Brooklyn Museum. Weill Cornell Anesthesiology was well-represented, with many faculty in attendance to support the development efforts of the Hospital and the NYP system.
The evening was an opportunity for New York Methodist to honor a couple members of their community with awards. The James Monroe Buckley Award was presented to Anthony D. Schlesinger, a Member of the NYMH Board of Trustees. The Lewis S. Pilcher Award was presented to Miran W. Salgado, M.D., Chair of Neurosciences at NYMH.
Department of Anesthesiology attendees included (from left): Dr. Nikolaos Skubas, Evangelia Romoudi, Dr. Cindy Wang, Dr. Meghan Fitzgerald, Dr. Natalia Ivascu, Dr. Arun Jayaraman, Dr. Lisa Rong, Dr. Ralph Slepian.
