Mercy Medical Center Free Presentation on Should I take STATINS for my high cholesterol?

Mercy Medical Center invites the community to a free lecture on controlling cholesterol levels with statin drugs, to be presented at the Bellmore Memorial Library on Wednesday, September 18th at 11:00 a.m.

The hour-long presentation will be given by Dr. Michael Moskowitz of Bellmore Family Practice who will explain the role that statin medications play in managing high cholesterol, and how physicians prescribe them to reduce a patient’s risk of heart attack and stroke.

Dr. Moskowitz, whose parents have resided in Bellmore for three decades, was a graduate of John F. Kennedy High School and went on to earn his undergraduate degree cum laude at State University of New York-Binghamton, and his medical degree at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in Old Westbury. He did his post-graduate training at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, where he most recently was Chief Resident in the Family Medicine Residency Program. He was awarded first place for a case presentation at the annual convention of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians.

There is no charge for attending the presentation and advance registration is not required to attend.
