Dr. Stacey E. Rosen, vice president for the Katz Institute for Women’s Health at Northwell Health and professor of cardiology at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, was honored with the “Women in Cardiology Mentoring Award” at the American Heart Association’s (AHA) 2018 Scientific Session in Chicago on Nov. 10.
Sponsored by the AHA’s Council on Clinical Cardiology, the Women in Cardiology Mentoring Award recognizes individuals who have an outstanding record of effectively mentoring female cardiologists and underscores the importance of mentoring in the professional development of women.
As a practicing cardiologist, Rosen previously served as chief of cardiology at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, associate chair of cardiology at Northwell Health and director of Long Island Jewish’s Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program. Rosen is Partners Council professor of women’s health and a volunteer for the American Heart Association with leadership positions at the local, regional and national levels. She also serves as a member of the Scientific Advisory Council for WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease.
“Dr. Rosen is an extremely strong leader and is an exceptional advocate for advancing our female fellows and faculty cardiologists,” said Dr. Cindy Grines, chair of cardiology at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell who nominated Rosen for the honor. “She is the main powerhouse responsible for recruitment and retention of the 45 female cardiologists on our cardiovascular team.”
Many female cardiologists whom Rosen mentored attached comments to the nomination application.
This year, Rosen co-authored the book “Heart Smart for Women, Six S.T.E.P.S. in Six Weeks to Heart-Healthy Living,” which empowers women of all ages with a comprehensive program for heart-healthy living.
She is a graduate of the six-year medical program at Boston University School of Medicine and is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology, the American College of Physicians and the American Heart Association.
