Gail Sheehy, author of the groundbreaking Passages and other popular books, will be the guest speaker at the 14th Annual Joseph Picchi, M.D., Memorial Lecture to be held in the spring of 2004.

These lectures inform the medical and lay communities on a broad range of topics and are made possible by the generosity of the many colleagues, friends, and students of the late Dr. Picchi, a beloved physician who prized health education.

Past speakers include Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., best-selling author of Kitchen Table Wisdom, and Dean Ornish, M.D. Judging by the success of previous events, this occasion is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. For more information about date, time, and reservations, call the Foundation at (510) 204-1667.
