Ms. Wright and her husband, Hospital Trustee Bob Wright, are major supporters of NYP. “New York is home to some of the most famous and recognizable buildings in the entire world,” Dr. Pardes says. “We are honored to have NewYork-Presbyterian lit up along with the Empire State Building and more than 1,000 other buildings worldwide to raise awareness for autism spectrum disorders and to demonstrate our support for patients and families.” (Continued on page 2) NYP/Westchester A Message from Dr. Pardes and Dr. Corwin May begins with Nurse Appreciation Week!

    Scientific Session Awards Abstracts presented at the Society’s annual meeting will be considered for the following awards: The George Peters Award recognizes the best presentation by a breast fellow. In addition to a plaque, the winner receives $1,000. The winner is selected by the Society’s Publications Committee. The award was established in 2004 by the Society to honor Dr. George N. Peters, who was instrumental in bringing together the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, The American Society of Breast Surgeons, the American Society of Breast Disease, and the Society of Surgical Oncology to develop educational objectives for breast fellowships. The educational objectives were first used to award Komen Interdisciplinary Breast Fellowships. Subsequently the curriculum was used for the breast fellowship credentialing process that has led to the development of a nationwide matching program for breast fellowships. The Scientific Presentation Award recognizes an outstanding presentation by a resident, fellow, or trainee. The winner of this award is also determined by the Publications Committee. In addition to a plaque, the winner receives $500. All presenters are eligible for the Scientific Impact Award. The recipient of the award, selected by audience vote, is honored with a plaque.
