The Board of Directors, management and staff of White Plains Hospital Center mourn with extreme sorrow the passing of our dear friend, Board member and benefactor, Mrs. Edith Dickstein. Edie's, along with her beloved late husband Frank's, participation and contributions to our Hospital spanned more than 30 years and did a great deal to make possible our pre-eminent position as the leading health care provider in Westchester County. Her continuing support and inspirational leadership created the Dickstein Cancer Treatment Center, Westchester's only free-standing cancer treatment facility, which offers compassionate stateof-the-art cancer care. Edie's devotion to the Hospital was extraordinary. She was a respected philanthropist who was deeply committed to improving the quality of life for families and children. Her endearing nature and vivacious spirit will be missed by all of us. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to her children: Dennis and Nancy Gilbert, Pam and Jeffrey Gittleman, and Laurie and Barry Siegel and their children and grandchildren.

We are fortunate to have had the privilege of knowing this passionate and cultured man and to have enjoyed for many years his irresistibly engaging intellect, charm and wit. His contributions, during a long and distinguished career, to medicine and allied health sciences consisted of acting as initiator, catalyst, and guide. He led the Ciba Foundation, London, from its inception in 1949 and perfected the most difficult of performing arts: productive meeting of brilliant minds. His conception of World Health Service found its culmination in his superb accomplishments as founder and Life President of Action in International Medicine (AIM) from 1988 until this year. His numerous publications, mainly on world health, international cooperation, and medical history revealed his love of medicine and his lifelong efforts to bring healthcare to the remotest parts of the world. These accomplishments were recognized far and wide with numerous honorary degrees. We extend our sympathy and love to his beloved wife Dushanka, his adoring daughters Olivia & Sarah & all his devoted family. Patricia and Michael Bral Published in the New York Times on 6/3/2004.
