Continuing Education Seminar: Confronting Healthcare Disparities Saturday, November 5, 2016 Throughout its 150-year history, Einstein has served as a safe haven for marginalized populations, often offering medical care when no one else would. Einstein continues to steadfastly uphold this Mission. Given its storied impact on addressing inequality in healthcare, Einstein proudly offered a dynamic continuing education opportunity on Saturday, November 5. Einstein alumni, residents and clinicians joined together with nationally and internationally recognized speakers Dr. Carlos Castillo-Salgado, Marc DuBois and Dr. Harvey J. Makadon to dialogue about how efforts to address healthcare disparities globally can productively provide solutions to the challenges being faced in our local communities.

Throughout the night guests were enticed to #timewarp through various milestone eras in Einstein’s history. Famed Bellevue bar and restaurant XIX was draped in pearls and was bathed in jazz while an artist deftly sketched portraits against a 1920s speakeasy background. A short elevator ride later, attendees were transported to the groovy 1960s. Across the hall, guests traveled “back to the future” as hits from the 1980s kept the crowd dancing before the ballroom doors opened. Inside the ballroom, it was Harvest Ball reimagined. Harvest Ball attendees dance the night away. The excitement of the evening was shared by many of Einstein’s leaders, including Larry Reichlin, Chairman of Einstein’s Board of Overseers; Barry Freedman, President and CEO; and Bobbi Wasserman, President of The Friends of Einstein Healthcare Network, who welcomed everyone to the Ball. Despite the many new experiences at the Ball and throughout its 150th anniversary year, Freedman reminded everyone that Einstein’s Mission is always first and foremost. 14

That was the question as guests were whisked through a multi-sensory time warp. “The idea of being of service to others and helping to make their lives better has been part of Einstein since we first opened our doors in 1866,” stated Freedman. “Our shared commitment to people and caring is at the heart of Einstein and everything we do.” Reichlin, Freedman and Wasserman thanked the 150th Anniversary Committee Chairpersons – Alison and Marc Feldman, Susan and Leonard Klehr, Jill and Jon Powell, and Nancy and Marc Shrier– as well as the more than 300 committee members who worked so hard not only to make Harvest Ball Weekend a spectacular success, but also the entire yearlong celebration. The surprises kept on coming throughout the night. In the ballroom, dancers led the crowd on the floor in the famed “Time Warp” dance from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Later, a sea of cell phones tweeted pictures of their owners (L-R) Larry Reichlin, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Einstein Healthcare Network, Bobbi Wasserman, President, The Friends of Einstein Healthcare Network, and Barry Freedman, President and CEO, Einstein Healthcare Network, extend a warm welcome to guests. dancing with “Lady Gaga” performing on the stage behind them. There was even an Elvis sighting in the 1950s Einstein Diner! When midnight came, the band was still in high gear and the dance floor was full. There was so much to celebrate, including a record-breaking fundraising effort of more than $1.2 million! Proceeds from the Ball will benefit Einstein’s new state-of-the-art telehealth program which will enhance access to care. “Telehealth is the future of healthcare, allowing patients to connect with their physicians on a daily basis from the comfort of home,” stated Freedman. “Our new telehealth system, EinsteinDirect, will bring an exceptional healthcare experience to each and every patient, regardless of his or her physical location.” 15
