Hosting the evening
Two people run the room.
The panel is seven clinicians. Getting them on a stage, and keeping six specialties in one conversation for an hour, is somebody else's job.
Host
Jessica Jordan
Founder, Long Island Health & Wellness Society
Jessica Jordan founded the Long Island Health & Wellness Society and hosts the Symposium. The Society exists to bring Long Island’s health and wellness community into one room, and this evening is the clearest expression of that: seven clinicians from six disciplines, an exhibit floor of Long Island practices and partners, and every ticket dollar going to the Curvy Girls Scoliosis Foundation.
Opens the evening with the Welcome on the Pier
Symposium Moderator
Prashant Gupta
Publisher, Roslyn Living Magazine
Prashant Gupta moderates Connecting the DOTS. As the publisher of Roslyn Living Magazine, he spends his working life putting Long Island practitioners in front of the neighborhoods they serve, which is close to what a moderator is asked to do for an hour: keep six specialties talking to each other, and to the room, rather than past both.
