When Inside Edition correspondent Alison Hall covered Olivia Munn’s breast cancer journey, she never imagined it would lead to a life-changing moment of her own. Through her reporting, Alison met with Lenox Hill breast surgeon Dr. Sharon Rosenbaum Smith and took the same risk assessment test that uncovered Munn's diagnosis. The results revealed Alison had an elevated risk for breast cancer. After further imaging and a biopsy, she was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early-stage breast cancer. With incredible strength and courage, Alison not only made the proactive decision to undergo a double mastectomy but also shared her story with the world to send a powerful message about the importance of early detection. We’re honored to be a part of her journey and support her in taking control of her health. Watch here: https://lnkd.in/evx8RjuU

Living with severe kyphosis, a spinal deformity that limits his ability to move his neck, Harvey Helfand faced a major roadblock—his condition made it nearly impossible for him to undergo the cataract surgery he urgently needed. After being turned away by others twice, his hope was fading until he met our ophthalmology team at MEETH. Dr. Jules Winokur, vice chair of ophthalmology at MEETH, promised Harvey not a guarantee, but a commitment: he’d do everything in his power to make the surgery possible. From there, Dr. Winokur teamed up with OR nurses Digna Navas and Eileen Curran who devised a logistical plan to safely and effectively position Harvey for surgery. Not only was the surgery successful, restoring Harvey's vision and allowing him to see clearly for the first time in years, but his gratitude was so profound that he wrote a heartfelt letter to the team. And when they learned he’d be celebrating his 76th birthday alone, they invited him back for a special birthday party with the very team that transformed his life.
