Dr. Mark S. Pecker, Professor of Clinical Medicine, and Dr. Samuel J. Mann, Professor of Clinical Medicine, were joined by Dr. Phyllis August, the Ralph A. Baer Professor of Medical Research, and other colleagues to celebrate the clinical expansion of a state-of-the-art hypertension unit located on 70th Street between York and First Avenue. Drs. Mann and Pecker will serve as the co-leaders for the new center. The 2,800-square-foot-center will fill a unique niche, in that it is one of very few dedicated centers in the world addressing one of our country's most pressing health concerns, hypertension. As mentioned in Milestones Summer Issue 2013, a celebration was hosted by long-time friends of WCMC, Lynne and Burt Manning.
