Experts to Tackle Drug Addiction at Southside's Ask the Doctor Forum

Crisis In the Midst forum will focus on all aspects of drug addiction.

The next installment of Southside Hospital's "Ask The Doctor" series, coming up on October 4, will discuss a topic that is on many parents' minds: drug addiction.

The forum, called "Crisis In The Midst," will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the East Islip High School auditorium on Thursday. All adult community members are welcome to attend.

n addition to the panel of four Southside Hospital physicians, guest speakers will include:

  • Dr. Jean Cacciabaudo, Chief of Cardiology, Southside Hospital
  • Dr. Michael Delman, Senior VP Academic Affairs, Southside Hospital
  • Dr. Jeff Reynolds, Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists and guest speakers.

In addition, representatives from several organizations will be on hand to discuss a spectrum of addiction-related topics including the Suffolk Department of Health, a Suffolk County Police Department’s COPE officer and the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence.

This is only the beginning and in short time many New Yorker's will be forced to remain in their homes fearing one of these animals will make them their pray. I for one believe in the old adage, it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I think Proposition 2 is a great idea, in the current structure you have to "call out" anRead More individual basically saying "I think you are doing a particularly bad job". Politics get dirty enough as is and I think this will increase participation and ultimately give us a better Board of Education.
