Weight Loss Surgery Forums

In our October newsletter, you met Dr. David Buchin who generously offered to donate a weight loss surgery to one lucky OH member. (Contest was open to OH members only!) Having donated his services previously, he discussed the idea for a surgery grant with Huntington Hospital who were happy to donate their resources. Other physicians and professionals generously donated their services as well.

OH is happy to share with you that we have a winner! The surgery grant winner was announced at the OH NY event in October. The lucky recipient is OH Member Jennifer Birch, a.k.a MissSunshine! Her surgery date is scheduled for December 19th, and she is super excited and so are we!
