Last month, the Dubin Breast Center held its Fifth Annual Benefit Gala, an event I felt honored to attend. The Dubin Breast Center opened in 2011 as part of  Mount Sinai, one of the nation’s top-ranked hospitals, and it is regarded not only for its excellent doctors and specialists but also for its focus on holistic health and the overall wellbeing of its patients. As co-director of the Center, I am so proud that our patients can receive highly personalized, multidisciplinary care in such a calming and supportive place.

And the Benefit Gala was a celebration of just that: our incredible patients and their care. They are why we go to work every day. They are our inspiration.

Among our biggest inspirations is Chloe Moussazadeh, who we honored at the Benefit Gala with our Courage Award. Watch her story below:

All of the proceeds from the event went toward the Dubin Breast Center so that we may continue providing our amazing patients with the best care possible. Aside from the proceeds, the Gala is a chance for my fellow doctors and I to celebrate the past year with our colleagues and patients, and I am so excited for what we can accomplish and celebrate in 2016.
