White Plains Hospital will celebrate its 115th anniversary and the opening of its new cardiac cath lab with a community-wide health event.

Wellness Week will run from May 30 to June 8.

The event will feature celebrity health professionals such as the heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet C. Oz of New York-Presbyterian Hospital (he’s a regular on Oprah; interventional cardiologist Dr. Jeffrey W. Moses of Columbia University Medical Center and nutrition expert and “Today” show contributor, Joy Bauer, M.S., R.D., C.D.N.

The wellness-themed events will be held throughout White Plains, Scarsdale and Rye Brook, the communities the hospital serves.

In addition, physicians affiliated with White Plains Hospital Center will provide free lectures on current health issues: Seth Lerner, M.D. and Charles Glassman, M.D., urological surgeons, will present “What You Need to Know about Prostate Health in the 21st Century” and Amy Newburger, M.D., dermatologist, will present “Everything You Need to Know About Aesthetic Treatments But Were Afraid to Ask.”

“Wellness Week gives us the opportunity to highlight in a concentrated way the important roles that preventive measures and lifestyle changes play in lowering the risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer,” said Jon B. Schandler, the hospital’s president and CEO. Your health can be improved by being physically active every day, eating a nutritious diet, getting preventive screenings and making healthy lifestyle choices.”
