In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital hosted “Cocktails & Conversation” on October 17 at its Carol H. Taylor Breast Health Center. Hosted by Bronxville residents Lansing Martinelli, Jennie Jacobs, Wendy Fahy, and Mary Taylor Behrens, the event gathered 55 community members to tour the state-of-the-art Center, which received the 2018 Women’s Choice Award as one of America’s Best Breast Centers, and to hear from NYP Lawrence President Michael J. Fosina, MPH, FACHE and the Center’s Director, Lynn Chinitz, MD.  The Center is named after Carol Hunter Taylor, mother of Mary Taylor Behrens and an active Bronxville resident for 42 years, whose extended family and friends helped contribute the seed money for the facility.
