From Smells to Stories, Nurses Take Advantage of
Wellness Programs
Matthew Anderson, MD., Thomas Farley,
MD, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene;
and Peter Selwyn, MD
On May 14, 2013 Dr. Farley came to present at our Social Medicine Rounds to
speak on “Promoting Health of Populations: Concepts, Examples, & Role of Primary Care Providers.” with Dr. Farley’s
leadership, the NYC Department of Health
and Mental Hygiene is addressing the social and environmental factors underlying
the leading causes of death and disability,
including smoking, unhealthy diet, physical
inactivity, heart disease and diabetes. He
has developed innovative strategies to fight
obesity and create a healthier food environment, including aggressive counteradvertising to reduce consumption of sugarsweetened beverages, proposing a demonstration project to remove sugar-sweetened
beverages from allowable SNAP purchases,
and capping the maximum size of sugarsweetened beverages sold at food service
establishments at 16 ounces. The Health
Department has established Green Carts, an
initiative to help low-income neighborhoods buy fresh fruits and vegetables, and
mandated calorie labeling at chain restaurants. Dr. Farley is trained as a pediatrician
and served in the Centers for Disease Control’s Epidemic Intelligence Service. He is
coauthor of Prescription for a Healthy Nation: A New Approach to Improving Our
Lives by Fixing our Everyday World.
Article about wellness programs for nurses includes interviews with Ronit
Fallek, M.P.A., director, Healing Arts Program, and two nurses who are
participating in the storytelling workshops, Denise Reidy, R.N., CICU,
and Roxanne O’ Brien, R.N., B.S.N., manager, Hospice and Palliative
Care.

Congratulations to Dr. Andrea
Ritchin and Dr. Diane McKee who
have been elected to the
Davidoff Society
The Leo M. Davidoff Society honors teachers who have made significant contributions to the education of students at the
College of Medicine. Dr. Davidoff was
born in Latvia in 1898, immigrated to the
U.S. and began his medical training at Harvard. In 1954, he became the first chair of
the Department of Surgery, and five years
later in 1959, the Chair of Neurological
Surgery. It was his work as Associate Dean
with responsibility for education, as well as
his love of teaching, that cause him to be
remembered as the respected and beloved
teacher of many who trained at Einstein. On the occasion of Dr. Davidoff’s
death in 1976, his wife, Dr. Ida Davidoff,
herself an Einstein faculty member in Psychiatry, established the Leo M. Davidoff
Society in his memory. As of today, just
over 300 Einstein faculty have been honored with membership in the Society. Nominees must have faculty appointments at Einstein and demonstrate evidence
of excellent teaching of medical students
for at least five years.

DFSM Staff Gets Fit Behind Their Desks
J
ust because you're sitting in the office
doesn't mean you have to surrender to
sitting all day and not moving. Sitting all
day is bad for your body; it can cause
lower back pain, tight hips, and tense shoulders.
Research also shows that not moving for hours
on end actually turns off your fat burning
enzymes and slows down your metabolism,
causing gradual weight gain. Physicians in our
department work each day guiding patients to
live healthier lives; and now we are working
together, from staff to the Chairman, to do the
same for our lives by incorporating healthier
habits while working, i.e., standing while
working, peddling while sitting at our desks,
and even changing the chairs we sit on. Join Us
In Living Healthier!!!

New maternity Care Faculty Member
Andrea Mendelsohn, MD, MPH
I
grew up in mostly California & Massachusetts (with a little
bit of Alabama thrown in between). After escaping New
England suburbia, I studied art history at Brandeis, played
softball for 3 years, and was completely blown away by my
experience studying abroad in Cape Town, South Africa. South
Africa was the first time I lived in a place freshly emerging from
years of racial oppression that felt as though things were changing and ordinary people had the power & energy to influence the
country's political direction. Following Brandeis, I volunteered
for 1 year for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
(JDC) in 2 clinics JDC ran in Addis Ababa and Gondar, Ethiopia
for a group of internally displaced refugees. I collected basic
health statistics, worked on their maternal child health & nutrition
programs, and started a teen HIV-education drama group. After
returning from Ethiopia, I did an MD/MPH at Tufts. My MPH
research was on the cost of treating rotavirus diarrhea in Vellore,
India (with the hopes that one day the Indian government will
decide that the rotavirus vaccine would be a cost-effective addition to the national immunization schedule!). I graduated from
Tufts in 2007 and did my family medicine residency at Lawrence
Family Medicine Residency from 2007-2010. I was attracted to
Lawrence for much the same reasons that I was attracted to Monte - in Lawrence I found a group of doctors interested in the larger social determinants of health and committed to improving underserved communities as a whole. After graduating residency,
my husband Adam and I moved to Charleston, SC where he
taught Modern Jewish History at the College of Charleston. I
worked as a solo-doctor in a rural community health center for 2
years in Hollywood, SC. I also took some weekend and night call
for the Family Medicine Residency at MUSC so that I could keep
doing a little bit of L&D. We are excited to be back in a big city
with lots of neighborhoods, art, diversity, and restaurants to explore
(with food
from all over the world!). We're also excited to check out all the
parks & playgrounds between Inwood & Central Park, and beyond (since I have recently discovered that the Met is NOT a
good playground for toddlers). I love maternity care because it is
such a transformational period for families and look forward to
working with everyone in order to continue to improve the
Montefiore experience.
Art and History came to Montefiore Family Health Center
Art and History came to Montefiore Family Health Center when photographer Pete
Pin's beautiful photographs of the Cambodian Diaspora was posted on the waiting
room walls at FHC.
Joyce Wong and Ousara Sophuok of FHC
worked with the artist, Mekong NYC and

and Sheila Yates of FHC leadership.
Joyce Wong writes: "I am still overwhelmed with emotion at the community
presence for Pete Pin’s: Cambodian Diaspora opening art reception/artist talk on
May 17, 2013 at the Family Health Center.
I want to express a heartfelt thank you to
Pete Pin for his vision in documenting the
Cambodian Diaspora, for giving us a
powerful portrait of a community’s strong
desire to preserve culture and history that
is enriched by his own personal story.
To Eddie Chhaya Chhaya Chhoum executive director, Mekong NYC, for helping to
make a reality of her dream of a new and
vibrant Cambodian identity. For transmitting to others her deep sense of social
justice, and helping us become, in her
words, guardians of our own histories.
I am also grateful to En Foco, Inc. for its
important mission of bringing art to underserved communities and promoting
cultural diversity in photography.

Originally published as Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia in Simple & Delicious
Parmesan Pointers
When a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese
found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty
garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated
cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna
and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal
proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan
cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool.
You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch
cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.
Light-Bodied White Wine
Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon
Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Pulse never skips a beat
Pulse--voices from the heart of medicine, the online publication created by DFSM, now has over 8,000 readers
worldwide and will soon celebrate its fifth anniversary.
Every Friday, Pulse e-mails its readers a first-person story or poem about health care. These personal and compelling pieces are written by patients, healthcare professionals and students from near and far, providing a rare forum
where all those who take part in health care can participate equally.
Dr. Donald Berwick, former Administrator of Medicare and Medicare Services, spoke for many when he said, "I not
only read Pulse, I adore it. The supply of compelling, often poetic accounts is the best around."
First-year family medicine resident Sarah Stumbar recently published "Note to My Patient," a gripping story, in
Pulse; a number of other RPSM residents and faculty have also had their stories appear in Pulse.
