County health forum tomorrow

Three physicians from Westchester County will discuss new ways to prevent or manage diabetes, heart problems, cancer and other conditions at the annual spring health forum tomorrow at the Lake Isle Country Club, 660 White Plains Road, Eastchester.

The theme of this year’s program is “Take Charge of Your Health: Focus on Prevention and Cost Savings.”

The forum, which will take place from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wednesday (May 20), is free and is presented each year by the county’s Department of Senior Programs and Services (DSPS) and its Health and Wellness Coalition, a group of 20 community organizations.

It is part of Westchester County Executive Andy Spano’s “Be Fit” initiative, an anti-obesity campaign to promote healthy eating and exercise.

The speakers will Dr. David Blum, chief of the division of endocrinology of the Diabetes Center at the Sound Shore Medical Center in New Rochelle; Dr. Michael M. Silver, a cardiologist and internist with the Westchester Medical Group and Dr. Julie Toback from the Scarsdale Medical Group, an internist who specializes in gastroenterology and hepatology.
