The Retired Men’s Association (RMA) of Greenwich, in a new partnership with Greenwich Hospital, recently enjoyed an evening together at the Bruce Museum. The evening was part of Greenwich Hospital’s ongoing Arc of Care Campaign “Medical Insights” lecture series. The program, entitled, “Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention: The Future of Urology,” is part of the series designed to educate the community about the hospital’s work and inspire investment to sustain and grow programming.
The event brought together medical professionals, community leaders, and volunteers to discuss key urological health matters. Both organizations are committed to strengthening their relationship by enhancing outreach to inform, educate, and foster dialogue for a healthier local community.
Opening remarks were delivered by W. Robert Berkley Jr., Chair, Greenwich Hospital Board of Trustees, and David Michonski, President of the Retired Men’s Association. Berkley commented on the ongoing success of Greenwich Hospital’s Medical Insights lecture series.
RMA President David Michonski thanked Mr. Berkley for his leadership and highlighted how the event perfectly aligns with RMA’s mission to support its members in leading vibrant, engaged lives. He explained that RMA fosters mental sharpness and fellowship through activities such as bridge, a dynamic book group, and a forward- thinking AI group, and much more. To promote physical well-being, RMA offers a wide range of sports activities—including golf, pickleball, boating, and many other activities. Additionally, the organization’s renowned speaker series includes programming dedicated to health topics related to aging, ensuring members and the public stay informed and empowered as they navigate this important stage of life.
Greenwich Hospital Chief Medical Officer Karen Santucci, MD, introduced the panel of experts: Michael Karellas, MD, William Oh, MD, and Daniel Petrylak, MD. The expert panel engaged the audience with the latest advancements in screening, medicine, and new technologies, including health education and outreach.
Future lectures are planned as part of the hospital’s Arc of Care Campaign, which is seeking to raise $125 million to expand clinical areas important to the community. Since the Campaign’s inception, $90 million has been raised toward the overall goal.
