Diamond Ball Gala: Impact and Legacy
The Diamond Ball Gala serves as a key fundraising event for the American Cancer Society, bringing together medical professionals, community leaders, survivors, and advocates united in the goal of combating cancer. The funds raised support cancer research, advocacy, and patient care initiatives.
Spotlight on Dr. Andrew Bernstein
Dr. Andrew Bernstein is honored for his exceptional dedication to oncology and patient care, marking him as one of the distinguished medical honorees at this year’s gala. His leadership and advocacy in the field have made a significant impact on cancer treatment and patient experiences in the community.
Dr. Bernstein has been treating patients in Morris County and surrounding New Jersey communities for more than 10 years. He earned his medical degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, completed his internship and residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and a medical oncology fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital. He has since served as the Associate Director of Medical Oncology at Chilton Medical Center and now practices at RCCA’s Riverdale, NJ division, offering innovative therapies such as immunotherapies and targeted therapy.
Jazmine Olson, Development Manager at the American Cancer Society, comments on Dr. Bernstein’s dedication: “Dr. Bernstein is a true advocate for families dealing with a cancer diagnosis; he is a leader in oncology and our communities,” Olson stated. “Dr. Bernstein plays a key role in furthering the American Cancer Society’s mission by his continued commitment to end cancer as we know it for everyone by raising funds for our patient support programs and lifesaving research.”
