TELEVISION
PROGRAM ON THE 2003 BARNARD SUMMIT AIRS ON STATIONS NATIONWIDE
Public
television stations nationwide this month begin airing a special
program, The Barnard Summit: Women and Health, that
was produced at this influential forum on the Barnard campus
in spring 2003.
The program highlights segments from the daylong forum last
April 5 that was led by President Judith Shapiro and featured
a Who's Who of international medical specialists, writers,
researchers, advocates and policymakers.
Connecticut Public Television produced the forum for television
and the program will air during March, Women's History Month,
on stations in major cities, including San Francisco, Detroit
and the Washington, D.C. area.
The forum addressed women's health trends worldwide, including
the latest thinking on gender-specific diseases, changing
attitudes toward health care for women and the relevance of
women's health to economic progress in the developing world.
The Barnard Summit is a leadership initiative of President
Shapiro on women's progress and achievement worldwide. The
first Summit was held in the fall of 2001.
In addition to President Shapiro, two national television
correspondents served as moderators of discussion during the
Summit: ABC News "20/20" correspondent Lynn
Sherr and CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien. The Summit brought together
a distinguished group of writers, scientists, doctors, historians,
journalists, policymakers and activists, including Our
Bodies, Ourselves co-author Judy Norsigian, Gates Foundation
HIV-AIDS Director Dr. Helene Gayle, New York Times
science writer Gina Kolata, National Institutes of Health
women's health director Dr. Vivian Pinn, Ob-Gyn, author and
NBC and PBS medical contributor Dr. Judith Reichman, Director
of the Food and Drug Administration Office of Women's Health
Dr. Susan F Wood, bestselling Prozac Nation author
Elizabeth Wurtzel, and Dr. Cristina Beato, principal deputy
