An expert panel of Lenox Hill Hospital physicians including Suzanne R. Steinbaum, MD, Director, Women's Heart Health, The Heart & Vascular Institute; Jennifer Wu, MD, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology; Elizabeth Messina, PhD, Department of Psychiatry - and Elizabeth Bernstein, prominent Wall Street Journal columnist who writes on relationships, provided insights and practical advice on the emotional and physical impact of relationships on our health at every stage of our lives.
