Eileen Rubenstein Goldstein and Paul D. Goldstein, MD, Founders of the Myra Rubenstein Weis Health Resource Center.
Family and friends of Myra Rubenstein Weis honor her life by supporting wellness and cancer survivorship programs at NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore).
Myra Rubenstein Weis was actively involved in the Highland Park community. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, she lived for 10 years before the disease claimed her life in 1990. Her sister, Eileen Rubenstein Goldstein, and her brother-in-law, Paul D. Goldstein, MD, continue to honor Myra's life and her upbeat spirit by hosting an annual spring benefit luncheon with a group of dedicated volunteers and friends who plan the event.
The record-breaking 15th Annual MRW Benefit Luncheon was held on Wednesday, May 4, 2011, at the Highland Park Country Club. The Luncheon honored Leon Dragon, MD, and featured vocalist Charlene Brooks.
Save the Date for the 16th Annual Luncheon: May 2, 2012
The 2012 Luncheon will honor David P. Winchester, MD, and will feature California's leading lifestyle expert Dann Foley.
