“Retatrutide, a triple receptor drug for GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon, is the most powerful weight loss drug yet. A significant issue is too much weight loss among the trial participants. New randomized trial results announced today with 28% body weight loss.”

People who got the injection, retatrutide, lost 28 percent of their body weight on average after 80 weeks, Eli Lilly said.

Great experience at the 2025 Optum Partnership Forum in Las Vegas! It was energizing to reconnect with partners from across the country and engage in thoughtful discussions around group management, care delivery models, best practices, and how emerging technologies can help support clinicians, improve patient outcomes, and expand access to care. Grateful for the opportunity to collaborate and learn from such a forward-thinking community.

Thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of our brand-new, multimillion, state-of-the-art Outpatient Cardiac Center at our Mount Kisco location.

I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible team whose hard work and dedication made this vision a reality for our patients.

From the stunning architectural design and large number of exam rooms—to improve patient access and reduce wait times—to the ergonomic layout that enhances face-to-face interaction, every detail was thoughtfully crafted. The expansive space houses all non-invasive cardiac testing modalities and is designed to promote seamless collaboration across cardiology subspecialties, including non-invasive, interventional, electrophysiology, and cardiac surgery.

This center is a testament to what we can achieve through collective intelligence—a true model for the future of outpatient cardiac care.

Quick break from the cath lab for a site visit evaluating the progress of our future Westchester cardiology offices. Currently being built with a target date of early June. 17 brand new exam rooms, state-of-the art cardiac testing equipment, and all cardiology subspecialties (non-invasive, interventional, EP) under one roof. The future of cardiac care looks bright.

The results of a new clinical trial have overturned the “wait and see” approach that cardiologists have long favored for symptom-free patients.
