Nearly 500 guests attended the fifth annual Dubin Breast Center Benefit at the Mandarin Oriental, New York, on Monday, December 7, raising more than $2.2 million to support the Center. The evening’s presenting sponsor was Harry Winston.
Among the guests were Mount Sinai Health System Trustees Eva Andersson-Dubin, MD, and Glenn Dubin, who co-founded the Center, which is part of The Tisch Cancer Institute; and Elisa Port, MD, FACS, Chief of Breast Surgery and the Center’s Co-Director. The event honored Michael Brodman, MD, Professor and System Chair, The Ellen and Howard C. Katz Chairman’s Chair, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Chloe Moussazadeh was presented with the event’s inaugural Courage Award for her grace and resilience as a young breast cancer survivor.
Philanthropist Emily Blavatnik played a special role in supporting the event and presented an award to Dr. Brodman for his commitment to women’s health care—including helping to create the new Blavatnik Family Foundation Women’s Health Floor at The Mount Sinai Hospital. Located on the fourth floor of the Klingenstein Pavilion, it offers a special healing environment for postoperative breast and gynecological cancer patients.
