Greenberg, M.D. Winter is the best time to have that cosmetic surgery procedure you have been dreaming of. Breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction with the most beautiful and natural-looking results, can be combined with liposuction, tummy tuck or other non-surgical procedures to create a whole new you. Body contouring can also be the answer to reshaping those undesirable areas of your body. Take advantage of the latest technology in both surgical and non-surgical procedures and unveil a beautiful new body as the weather gets warmer. There are several new and amazing technologies that are sure to deliver excellent results to anyone looking to enhance their appearance. Cellulaze is the latest revolutionary technology that permanently removes cellulite in just one treatment. It is the first cellulite treatment that attacks the structure of cellulite for clinically proven, longer-lasting results. exact three dimensional replica of her body on screen. This allows women to actually see the expected result in advance of any surgical procedure. The photorealistic result can be viewed from all angles, and implant size can be adjusted to meet a patient’s needs as closely as possible. For the first time, women can select implant size, shape, and position and view the expected outcome on their own body. If you decide that this isn’t the time for cosmetic surgery, but would like to look younger, the combination of the latest injectables and highly advanced laser options can freshen up your face and give you a youthful appearance. There is no better time than now to consider that cosmetic surgery procedure that will allow you to show off a younger and more vibrant looking you this Spring! In addition to the exciting Cellulaze technology, is the introduction of the Sientra® new cutting-edge “gummy bear” breast implants recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These new implants provide patients additional options for a customized look, a fuller breast shape, a choice of different shapes and a more customized augmentation. This along with Portrait 3DTM Imaging for those patients considering breast augmentation, is breakthrough technology that enables women to see what they will look like after breast augmentation surgery. As more and more women are considering breast augmentation, there is a great value and benefit to this latest technology. The Portrait 3DTM system photographs a patient’s body before her breast procedure by creating an “Trinity” is a three-in-one non-invasive laser skin rejuvenation system that will reverse sun damage, remove wrinkles and tighten skin. Combining the laser treatment with a “Liquid Facelift” (Restylane®, Botox® Cosmetic or Juvéderm® injections), replaces lost volume and erases wrinkles creating the perfect skin rejuvenation program. I remain committed to working with my patients on the importance of overall health, diet, exercise and maintaining a positive state of mind. A comprehensive assessment of each person’s needs provides for a positive and realistic result as well as a natural and younger look. Whichever procedure, or combination of procedures that you choose, you can enhance your appearance and feel confident that you will see the results that you desire. There is no better time than now to consider that cosmetic surgery procedure that will allow you to show off a younger and more vibrant looking you this Spring!

Many of my patients come to me seeking help with the changes that can occur after childbirth. Following childbirth, a woman’s breast can grow to uncomfortable proportions or just the opposite can happen. A woman’s breast can actually lose volume and shrink, resulting in the breast appearing “deflated.” Additionally, a large number of women come to me seeking help with the post partum changes of their abdomen. During pregnancy the skin and abdominal wall muscles are stretched. Following childbirth, the abdomen can protrude and the skin can be loose or sag. In some cases, the abdominal muscles can be so weakened that the individual may look like she is still pregnant. Despite daily workouts including sit ups and crunches, a tummy tuck may be needed to restore these muscles. ing breast reduction. Both groups of women want to have breasts that are proportional to their body size with the most natural result possible. In certain situations, a breast lift is also needed to tighten lax skin. The laxity can be the result of pregnancy or weight loss. When a breast lift is needed, I utilize the lollipop scar technique. A breast lift procedure is very similar to a breast reduction. The only difference is that with a breast reduction, breast tissue is removed. Combined Breast/Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Procedures. Many of my patients who have breast surgery also have other procedures performed at the same time. This allows for one surgery and one recovery. The most common combined procedures performed by Dr. Rhee are breast surgery, whether it is a breast reduction or augmentation, combined with tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty. For those patients Breast Reduction Many of my patients who desire breast augmentation together with a tummy tuck, I am able to place Women with very large pendulous breasts may experience varied medical the breast implants through the tummy tuck incision, leaving the breasts without who have breast problems including back and neck pain.

I grew up in Bayside, Queens and have lived and worked in New Hyde Park for 19 years. What do you like about living and working on Long Island? The variety of the Long Island towns ranging from the beauty of the Hamptons and other beach areas to an abundance of activities including performing arts, parks and upscale restaurants are most appealing. What is your involvement with the Long Island Coaching Alliance (LICA)? As a presentation skills trainer, LICA has helped me learn how to integrate coaching techniques. I am on the LICA Board and also their public relations director. My role is to attract members and also get the word out about the organization so that Long Islanders know where to turn for a qualified coach. LICA just celebrated its 15th anniversary with an event featuring a panel of distinguished coaches who discussed the future of coaching and growing a coaching business. Why is coaching important for women? Working with a coach is invaluable for women who strive to get to the next level in their careers, businesses or want to find greater fulfillment in their personal lives. Some areas that coaches can assist with are balancing work and family, caring for aging parents and finding your passion. What advice do you have for women in the New Year? Ask yourself “What aspects of my life would I like to change?” Seek help if you can’t move forward. Remember you’re not alone in your quest. Consider improving important skills, such as public speaking. Whether you’re looking to advance your career, grow your business or enhance personal relationships, don’t overlook how you present yourself. Remember you only have one chance to make a positive first impression. dying father that he was going to make some major lifestyle changes. That led to his decision for a stomach bypass—and a drop to 190 pounds. But fifty of those pounds gradually crept back until he finally devised a plan, stuck to it, and got his life back. Never Going Back is Roker’s inspiring, candid, and often hilarious story of self-discovery, revealing a (now slimmer) side of his life that no one knows. With illuminating and sometimes painfully honest stories about his childhood (as the “husky” boy in class), his struggle against the odds to make something of himself, and his family life today, Roker reveals the effects that a lifelong battle with weight issues can have on a person—and how, regardless of the frustration and setbacks, you must never lose faith in yourself.

The resolution generally lasts a couple of weeks—or sometimes just a couple of days—before it gets buried beneath the reality of everyday life. But what if there were practical tips and appealing recipes that made it easy to keep your resolution? By following an eating plan that fits your needs, you can eat healthier food and shed pounds without even realizing it. Lisa Lillien—aka “Hungry Girl”—to the rescue! The bestselling author and Food Network TV host has compiled 650 low calorie recipes in her newest book, Hungry Girl to the Joy Max! The Ultimate Guilt-Free Cookbook. Bauer According to her bio, “Lisa is not a nutritionist or a dietician – she’s just hungry.” I’m sure we can all relate. Lisa helps people learn to eat the foods they crave and still maintain their ideal weight. She not only turns high-calorie recipes into imaginative low-calorie ones, she also helps her followers acquire knowledge and make long-term lifestyle changes that lead to permanent weight loss. The Joy Fit Club: Cookbook, Diet Plan & Inspiration, a new book by nutritionist Joy Bauer, will also inspire you to keep your resolutions. A regular contributor to NBC’s Today Show, Joy not only offers enticing low-calorie recipes and tips for eating healthier, but she introduces us to 30 real men and women who lost 100, 200, 300 and even 400 pounds by being part of her “Joy Fit Club.” The “inspiration” mentioned in the book’s subtitle comes directly from them—their stories, tips and recipes—and the remarkable before and after photos are all the proof you’ll need! “New Year’s is a season of positive energy and renewal,” says Joy Bauer, “making it a terrific time to start new healthy habits. The trick is to make a specific, concrete goal (lose 10 pounds this month, make half your plate produce at every meal). If your resolution is too vague, it’s hard to measure progress and keep yourself accountable.” A great way to keep those resolutions is to become better educated about food, and Joy’s What The Heck video series is an easy and entertaining way to do it. “My goal was to give people a behind-the-scenes look at how popular foods are made and what they do to our bodies – it’s science mixed with a little detective work and a whole lot of comedy. I am amazed at how popular the videos have been – the 22 episodes have now generated a collecLisa Lillien tive total of nearly 2.5 million views!” aka Hungry Girl In his delightful and revealing memoir, Born Round, veteran New York Times reporter, columnist and former restaurant critic, Frank Bruni discusses his lifelong struggle with weight control as part of a family obsessed with food.

I have about a 50 percent success rate with the small-bore, reasonable ones. Which validates my wider belief: we all are addicted to this notion of dramatic, quick transformation, and we thus set ourselves up to fail. We’re not being wimps to go after smaller goals, we’re being smart, and maximizing the chances that we’ll actually make SOME progress, which is important. So don’t say: no dessert this January! Say: dessert half as often as I usually eat it. Or dessert in half the portion I usually eat it. Don’t say: the gym five times a week this year! Not if you only go once at present. Say: the gym two times every week, with the hope/ effort at a third. And so on. I really believe this, and I have to keep reminding myself of this, because it’s in our natures, when we want to be better than we are, to set the bar really high. But if you look back at past failures and their recurrence and you’re honest about what that predicts for the future, you have to conclude that smaller, more realistic goals are the way to go.” JOY’S WINNING WEIGHT-LOSS RULES 1.

The Only Way To Get Rid Of Lipomas Is Surgery But now there is a possible Non-Surgical Treatment. The Tests And Examination Will Be At No Cost To You! Benign lumps of fat are called lipomas. Many people have one or two and unfortunately some people have many of them in various places all over their bodies. There is a treatment being researched that involves an injection only and no surgery. There will be 8 visits over a six-month period. If you wish to participate in this research project, please understand that an injection of an enzyme (collagenase) will be used to treat your lipoma. Another type of collagenase enzyme is present in the human body and is very important for normal biological functions. The collagenase that will be injected has been approved by the FDA to treat another medical condition known as Dupuytren’s Contracture. There is no financial compensation for participants. It is required that you undergo a medical examination prior to the treatment in addition to an MRI to be sure that the lump is indeed a lipoma. The study will be conducted by Dr. Gerut’s office.

Your Doctor, Your Partner? Many patients feel their health care provider is too pressed for time, and cannot be relied on for additional direction and information. When discussing your health with your doctor, there should be a two sided discussion, right? Theoretically, yes. A study published by Health Affairs, however, showed that many patients felt too intimidated to have a discourse with their physicians about their own health and treatment options. Patients’ confidence levels seem to drastically diminish during doctor patient interaction. The clinical setting was shown to create a reluctance to be assertive, or even ask questions at all. “Patients desire a partnership with their healthcare provider. They want to be able to tell their providers what they think about the treatment options they face that address the problems they have,” according to Dominick Frosch, Associate Investigator at Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute. “However, patients are concerned about asking question or telling physicians what they want. Many are also worried to even disagree with a physician. They fear that in so doing they may be perceived as difficult and that could cause them to receive lower quality care in the future. Patients worry if they are too assertive, they will be labeled as difficult or dismissed.” While many patients want to collaborate with their physician regarding decisions about treatment, they feel that they can’t because doctors act in an authoritarian manner, instead of being open to dialogue. For this reason, many patients are turning to the internet, to do additional research on their treatment options and illnesses. Many feel their health care provider is too pressed for time and cannot be relied on for additional direction and information. “There is a lot of movement toward greater partnership between healthcare providers and patients. This is talked about prominently in the Affordable Care Act, and there is a growing body of research that supports that when patients and physicians work together it leads patients to be more 14r-0/(*4-"/%80."/rJanuary 2013 Night sweats, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and the dwindling occurrence of menstrual periods. If you are going through menopause, these symptoms are all too familiar. While most women begin to experience menopause in their 50s, these symptoms can occur in women before the age of 40 for an entirely different reason. Indicators like these could be a sign of primary ovarian insufficiency, also known as POI. Ovaries in women with POI are not functioning at full capacity. Regular release of eggs is halted and the production of reproductive hormones is diminished. Many women who have POI are not even aware they have it. Hot flashes or night sweats may not be something they feel is worth mentioning to a physician. In combination with how many women see their monthly menstrual cycle as a nuisance, many may feel happy to skip a month or two. Irregular or missed periods are also a sign of POI. “Many women and their health care providers do not take a skipped period seriously so this leads to a delay in diagnosis. In most case, women in the reproductive years who have not had a period in 90 days should have testing done to find out why,” stresses Lawrence M. Nelson, MD, CAPT United States Public Health Service. “Some of these women will have POI. The associated estrogen deficiency is a risk factor for reduced bone mineral density and osteoporosis in later life.” The cause of POI is largely unknown, with only 10% of cases traced to a genetic predisposition or autoimmunity, a disorder where one’s own immune system attacks body tissue. Depending on the cause, POI may begin as early as the teen years, or may have been present from birth. POI symptoms can be alleviated via hormone replacement therapy. While there is no cure for POI, a recent study from Dr. Nelson’s lab suggests that most women diagnosed with POI may still have immature eggs inside their ovaries. Even without treatment, up to 1 in 10 women with POI may unexpectedly become pregnant after their condition is diagnosed. “While POI symptoms are similar to menopause it is important to point out that women with POI differ from normal menopausal women in important ways. Menopause means a woman has experienced permanent cessation of menstrual periods and she will no longer be able to get pregnant. We know that women with POI can frequently have a return of menstrual periods even years after the diagnosis and approximately 5-10% of them conceive subsequent to the diagnosis without any medical intervention,” emphasizes Dr. Nelson. “Most women with POI have intermittent and unpredictable ovarian function that may persist for decades. Women Caregivers and Depression A study conducted from 1998 to 2008 by the Health and Retirement Study found that women caregivers are at a higher risk of prolonged periods of depression, even after their care giving responsibilities are over. The study also went on to reveal that wives fare worse, both physically and emotionally, than their husbands. “Depression and other mood disorders are common for caregivers, and also contribute to other types of morbidity associated with care giving.

Finkelstein, Assistant Professor of Medicine, New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical College. The study showed, that there are few differences in the tasks each spouse takes on as caregivers, i.e. bathing, feeding and dressing during the final stages of their loved ones lives’. While feelings of despair eventually subsided for both genders, women reported a longer period of depression up to three years after their husband’s death. Bouts of depression are also accompanied by other ailments, including high anxiety, insomnia, and decreased immune response to infection, muscle and joint inflammation and diminished wound healing. The length of the depression could also vary, according to several key factors in the life of the caregiver, according to Finkelstein. “It depends a lot on the type of support they have during their grieving - i.e. other family members, the types of relationships they have with other family members and friends, participation in a support group, and bereavement counseling.” Women caregivers are at a higher risk of prolonged periods of depression, even after their care giving responsibilities are over.

Missing from the list were pilates and spinning classes, reigning favorites in years past. “Women are starting to see that lifting weights and body weight exercises are not exclusive to men. The myths of becoming bulky is slowly dissipating as women realize how empowering it can be to be able to lift weights and do things like pull ups and pushups,” explains Operations/Community Development/Coach EJ Baril of Cross Fit Metropolis, New York’s Upper East Side. “Not only is it good for the body, but it’s good for the soul and that inner confidence. Strong is not only the new skinny – strong is beautiful.” What does that mean? There is a new trend brewing in women’s fitness. Body weight training is back in a big way, sitting at third on the list, behind working out with a personal trainer and strength training. Push-ups and crunches, corner stone exercises in body weight, require minimal, if any typical gym equipment. These equipment-free workouts, favored in many boot camp-style classes are turning towards the use of common objects like picnic tables and kitchen counters to create modifiable angles for challenging workout positions. By incorporating everyday items, fitness experts hope working out seems more feasible to do every day with items found around the home. Moving away from the high cost of specialized equipment is appealing to everyone, especially in tighter economic times. “Programs like pilates and spinning, those high cost exercise programs, are no longer in our top 20 in our survey,” according to surveyor Walter R. Thompson, Ph.D., FACSM, FAACVPR Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research Georgia State University. “Folks have this mentality of going back to the basics and this may be tied to the economy.” O To advertise: 516-505-0555 x1 or [email protected] Lose the post-holiday blues...

The art form that gave us Ethel Merman, Mary Martin, Robert Preston and Bernadette Peters now only rarely produces a bona fide luminary – someone who not only sings, dances and acts but displays such unique charisma, the world can’t help but notice. Sometimes lightning still strikes, however, and in 1997, Broadway got its first look at Kristin Chenoweth. It had to look closely, because at 4’11”, Chenoweth was not your typical chorus girl. But Theater World noticed her in Steel Pier and honored her with its newcomer awards, and only two years later, the diminutive knockout took home a Featured Actress Tony for You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. She played Sally, a role that wasn’t even in the original version of the musical but was designed especially for her. Since then, Chenoweth has had her setbacks (a 2001 sitcom called Kristin that aired only half of its episodes) and triumphs (originating the role of Glinda in Wicked), while becoming a familiar presence on the big and small screen, as well as on Broadway (most recently co-starring with Sean Hayes in 2010’s delightful revival of Promises, Promises). Surely, someone with Chenoweth’s work ethic and metabolism would be unstoppable, right? Not quite. Last July 11th, the actress was on the set of CBS’s The Good Mother when a piece of lighting equipment came loose, hit her in the face and knocked her to the curb on which she hit the back of her head. Knocked out cold, she then stayed overnight in the hospital and has spent several months since recovering from the concussion. She seems her bubbly, voluble self in our autumn conversation, but there’s no getting around that the accident has been a life-changer. “I’m getting better and better,” Chenoweth chirps, “but it’s a long healing process. I had a bad neck before, and now it’s really not good. I still have to deal with headaches, and the brain-concussion injury can be kind of tricky.” Asked if she suffered memory loss, the Wicked star explains, “Not quite amnesia. In the beginning, there was some struggle to get some of the words out that I wanted to, but that’s gone. I’m completely getting it now. Otherwise, I’m usually good at multi-tasking; it’s taking me a little more time than I’d like to get back there. But I’m happy to be easing myself back into life, and that can be very healing. I’m a girl that goes at 200 miles per hour; I don’t do well at zero. Let’s say, now I’m at about 30.” Chenoweth laughs and continues, “I think your readers will appreciate this. I am in real trouble with being still and quiet, but it’s necessary in life to have those times. You have to hear that voice, that inner voice. I believe it’s God, some people believe it’s other things. For me, things had been getting so fast that I was brought to my knees, if you will, to hear what I needed to hear. I just do my career and have a full life with my family and friends. But there are many who do it all – mother and wife and career. It’s a very difficult time in our world, so to find those quiet moments is very important.” When I note that, in a recent Rolling Stone interview, Bob Dylan points to his 1966 motorcycle mishap as an almost necessary, even transformational event in his life – one that forced him to regain control, Chenoweth replies, “I understand that. There’s the old me – where I go and go and go and do many different things. But now I have been brought down to, `Okay, what’s really important in this life for you, Kris? What do you really want to be doing in two years? How do you see it going down? Would you like to cultivate your friendships and stay close to your friends?’ Yes! They’re always the ones that have to understand when things get too busy. But I’ve had time to reconnect with friends I adore and love, and I realize just how much they enrich your life. I’m a good friend, but I needed time to be a good friend. And I needed time to hear what God was telling me. ‘Time to slow down.’ So that’s what happening. I guess Mr. Dylan and I have something in common.” Still, Chenoweth notes that a slowdown is not a halt. In the months following the accident, she hosted the Hero Dog Awards on the Hallmark Channel and flew to Toronto “to mentor some girls for Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s show about finding the next Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Flying, for me, isn’t great. But the actual mentoring was very gratifying and healing to me.” The actress remembers well when she was the hopeful ingénue, and the effect an audience could have on her. “I grew up singing in church,” Chenoweth recalls. “I remember the first time I got a solo and the reaction to it. But the very first time I discovered that I had to be on-stage and an actor was in ballet. In Oklahoma, we have a professional ballet company, Tulsa Ballet Theater. I was doing The Nutcracker. I auditioned, and I was too little to fit into most of the costumes except for the mouse. Now the mouse’s job is to merely sit next to Clara in Act Two and watch the dancing. In the middle of the “Sugar Plum Fairy” or one of the other dances, there was a vine prop. One dancer dropped it and then ran offstage. And the next section of dancers were getting ready to come on. I remember thinking in my head, `What would a . . . what would a mouse do?’ So I ran out and got the vine, put it in my mouth and hopped back. “Now this is a ballet audience. This isn’t a rock concert. This isn’t church. The audience clapped. It’s Tchaikovsky and they’re clapping! And I remember thinking, `I’m supposed to do this.’ And I was probably about seven. So that is when I knew.” Still, whether in ballet or on the theater stage, Chenoweth had to cope with being just a little different from the other talent around her. Recalls the actress, “My piano teacher wanted me to major in music and piano. My dance teacher said, `You should change your major to dance; you can do all kinds of dance.’ My voice teacher at Oklahoma City University, who is my mentor still today, said, `You’re not just one kind of singer. You have the capacity to do a lot of things, and we’re going to hone it, and work on it and craft it.’ I didn’t understand what she meant then because I was 18, and I didn’t know. But she said, `You are petite. You do have an interesting speaking voice. Those are the things that are going to make you different.’ I think that’s the key: things that are going to make you stand out and be special. “I definitely didn’t get some jobs because of my height, for sure. I didn’t fit into the chorus. I never fit the costumes. When you come into Beauty and the Beast and it’s year three, you gotta be somewhere close to sizes, and I just wasn’t. But I was a very welltrained, classically trained singer, actress, musician and dancer. I believe God had a big hand in that, but I think that made me more right for original work.” Chenoweth points out that her roles in Wicked and You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown benefited from her uniqueness. “Even shows like The Apple Tree, which wasn’t revived for 40 years because, according to the composers and writers, they didn’t have the right person. Things about me that could have been detriments – I had people in my life that said, `No, those are what’s making you different and special. Yeah, you’re short. You’re little. Your speaking voice, yeah. But let’s concentrate on what makes you different and what Kristin Chenoweth With Gratitude, Without Judgment by David Lefkowitz “If I could ever meet my birth mother, I would just tell her, `Thank you. Thank you for making the decision because I won the lottery, really.’” K r i st in Che noweth and Idina Menzel in Wick ed If a person’s an atheist, and if that’s how they can make you great.’ I’m very grateful that I’ve believe, who am I to judge them?

Yes, she once States for a child to be adopted appeared on The 700 Club (to out of foster care is nine. Really, her regret), but she’s also appeared it’s closer to 14. But we have so many in musicals by and about gay people, kids that need homes. I just think there had plans to star in a biopic about bisexual are a lot of kids who just want someone to singer Dusty Springfield, and even posed in a twocall `em before they go to bed and say, `Hey, I love piece bathing suit for FHM magazine. Asked if such secular you.’ Those are three powerful words that, I think, in their and sexy activities ever gave her pause, Chenoweth replies, “I’ve had those formative years, kids need to hear a lot.” Regarding the mystery of her own birth parents, Chenoweth is in no rush to find moments for sure. Certainly the FHM cover was one of those moments. I’m them, but she has become more curious about her origins: “When people asked not saying I make decisions that my family always agrees with! But I look at if I wanted to know, I used to say, `I don’t even know anything different, so, no.’ it purely as a business decision. I can do Playboy – been asked to do that – or But the older you get, the more you go, `Hey, my family is tall and brunette, I could do FHM. So I have to very carefully walk the line. A lot of people who and they don’t sing. They’re engineers!’ Definitely, I’m the different one in my believe like me would say, `You know, those weren’t the best decisions, Kris; family. So I do wonder where the petite-ness came from. Where the music came maybe you shouldn’t have made that one.’ But again, I’m the one walking in my from? What is my family medical history? I would be telling a lie if I said I don’t shoes. I’m the one that has to be able to put my head on the pillow at night and wonder about those things. Getting those answers could be wonderful, but at the feel okay about it. “Also,” adds the actress, “I’ve never seen the gay issue as a sin. Even as a small same time, I am who I am. There’s a certain DNA I got from the bio-parents, but environment had a way bigger influence on who I am. And if I could ever meet child. Maybe that made me different in the Bible Belt. But I figured, God makes my birth mother, I would just tell her, `Thank you. Thank you for making the people the way they are. Just like I’m short. There’s gay people in this world. There’s straight people in this world. That’s where I know a lot of my extreme decision because I won the lottery, really.’” Certainly, Chenoweth doesn’t apologize for making the best of her brains, looks right friends would disagree with me, but that’s okay.” As for her own love life, Chenoweth, who has been twice engaged and once and talent, especially since beauty pageants supported her education. “I grew up in the South, where basically, we come out of the womb ready to be in a pageant. dated screenplay whiz Aaron Sorkin, describes herself as “single and dating I, myself, did not do pageants as a child.

A new month. A new year. And a time of hope to so many. I learned a lot about hope from a little man, born May 10, 1912. Dr. Henry Viscardi was born with what he called “twisted little stumps for lower legs.” Hank spent the first seven years of his life in New York’s Hospital for Deformities and Joint Diseases. When he came home his mother sent him to N.Y.C. public schools with his two sisters. The schools wouldn’t let him take science because he couldn’t reach the lab tables and he was banned from gym. Kids called him “Ape Man” because his hands nearly reached the ground when he walked. As an adult, Henry Viscardi was only 3-feet 8-inches tall. Hank once asked his Mother, “Why me?” Her answer was quick, as he told his documentary biographer Ann Balderston-Glynn. “In her simple peasant voice she told me that when it was time for another crippled boy to be born in the world, the Lord and His counselors held a meeting to decide where he should be sent. And the Lord said ‘I think the Viscardis would be a good family for a crippled boy.’ What a wonderful thing that’s been for me to hold onto for my whole life. To remember.” Ann spent two years with Hank, making The Legacy of Henry Viscardi Jr. documentary. Mama Viscardi made no excuses to Hank or for Hank. Neither did Hank. He did chores. He played playground basketball. He went to Fordham University until the family money ran out in his senior year. In 1938 Hank’s doctor warned that his “stumps” were failKids called ing him. Hank didn’t have money, but Dr. Robert Yanover found someone to make him artificial limbs. Dr. Yanover said him “Ape Man” the bill would be paid if Hank made a difference in the life because his of one other person. At 27 years old, Hank Viscardi walked home on prosthetic legs. He was 5’8”. He felt like a giant. hands nearly When the military rejected him during World War II, reached the Hank joined the Red Cross. He worked at Walter Reed Hospital helping amputee veterans transition to a new life. ground when In 1945 Hank met Lucile, while working at Mutural he walked. Broadcasting. He proposed three months later. They married and had four daughters. In 1949 he was asked to head JOB – Just One Break – to help millions more disabled Americans find work. Hank remembered his promise to Dr. Yanover. He paid it forward. Three years later Hank opened his own job training workshop in a vacant West Hempstead garage. He only hired disabled veterans. In the 1960s they moved to Albertson and he fought local leaders through the State Appellate Court for the right to open the Henry Viscardi School. Today Viscardi students still get academic, job and career placement training – and have fun. Hank started the traditions of school parades with crutches and wheelchairs decorated with crepe paper - and of luring professional athletes to act in the school’s annual Sports Night plays, including Islanders Bobby Nystrom, Clark Gilles and Pat LaFontaine, boxer Joe Fraiser and Olympian Sarah Hughes. On one Viscardi classroom visit, Hank told the kids he’d climbed the highest mountains for them so they could have a full life. Then he handed them their challenge: to fill others’ minds and hearts with understanding that disabled people are normal, wonderful people. “I never promise you that it will be easy, but I assure you it will be worthwhile. So in the dark days, hang in there and remember that for you and me, to hope is a duty, not a luxury.” I wish you a 2013 full of hope.
