This is no TV medical drama: With 2.7 million medical calls placed in New York City every year, the frontline healthcare professionals here are some kind of heroic which made it a thrill to attend last night’s premiere of @Netflix's upcoming docuseries Emergency NYC, premiering March 29. Thanks to the team @northwellhealth for the invite to a fascinating screening and Q&A @chelseapiersnyc!

This week marks the first ever Student Mental Heal

This week marks the first ever Student Mental Health Week and parents of college kids, here’s a helpful quote from human development expert Neal Horen, PhD, of Georgetown U: “Going to college can be amazing or it can be an arduous trek if we’re not paying attention. This is a major time of identity formation with kids asking themselves ‘who am I’ and ‘where do I fit in.’ That plus the immediate independence they may experience living away from home is a big demand to put on someone and can lead to mental health challenges we have to pay attention to.” Wise words! #StudentMentalHealthWeek

So happy to close out ‘22 spotlighting these four incredible CEOs who used their own personal health journeys to start companies that will help countless women in the years to come.

Such a full circle moment to return to @northernwestchesterhospital where my dad worked for decades as a cardiologist (that’s him in the ‘70s) to report a story for @webmd about the incredibly healthy foods being created by Michelin star chef Andrew Cain @northwellhealth. My dad was one of the healthiest eaters on the planet and he would have loved this story so thanks always to my editor @asheinin for letting me shine a light on progress like this. Hospital food shouldn’t be lousy!
