Dr. Edward Schuster, MD
“How to Live to 100 Without Disabilities”
Dr. Edward Schuster, MD, is a Stamford based cardiologist who is currently an attending physician at Stamford Hospital, and is a member of the Board of Directors of The Stamford Hospital Foundation. He is the hospital’s director of cardiac rehabilitation, and the medical director of The Tully Health and Fitness Institute in Stamford. He also is member of the teaching faculty at Columbia University.
There are almost 100,000 people in the U.S. over the age of 100, and the percent of people reaching centenary status is rising. Dr. Schuster will describe what will—and will not—help you achieve this goal, and stay healthy while you do it. First, location helps. Connecticut has the second highest incidence of centenarians in the country (after Hawaii). He’ll give tips on diet, exercise, social engagement, medical monitoring, stress management, vitamins, and more. He also advises, “Take vacations! Enjoy life! This is not a dress rehearsal!”
Dr. Schuster received his medical degree at the Chicago Medical School and completed his internship and residency at Duke Hospital. He was a Fellow in Cardiology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Schuster has received numerous honors including Teacher of the Year at Stamford Hospital and is rated among the USA Best Doctors. In addition to healthy aging and longevity, he is a strong and active advocate of children's health and the use of defibrillators in the community.
Our next speaker, on October 30, will be Carleen Lyden Walker, marine security expert, on “Zero Point Four—The Critical Role, and Vulnerabilities, of Maritime in Today’s World.”
