The William D.

Stubenbord had for them and members of their families. Dr. Stubenbord, who died in 1982, was a 1931 graduate of Weill Cornell Medicine and was associated with The New York Hospital–Cornell Medical Center during his entire medical career.
The lecture will take place in Weill Cornell Medicine’s Uris auditorium.
