Marie Savard MD, ABC’s medical contributor, traded the sleepless nights of on-call patient care for middle-of-the night trips from Philadelphia to New York for regular appearances on “Good Morning America” and is on call for breaking medical news. She keynotes the Seventh Annual Women’s Wellness Day on Saturday, November 20, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Educational Testing Service. For this U.S. 1 cover story, click here.

Jason Hollander wanted, for his children, the bucolic Princeton childhood that he had enjoyed. So he left the medical fast lane of Manhattan to locate his endocrinology practice in Princeton, yet he “keeps his hand in,” so to speak, by doing cutting edge research. He is also among the few doctors who encourage patients to keep in touch with him by texting, E-mailing, or using a secure web page. Hollander speaks on thyroid issues in women at the Seventh Annual Women’s Wellness Day on November 20.
