Focusing Through a Different Lens

A photography exhibit featuring the work of 13 physicians recently opened at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Sponsored by the Newton-Wellesley Hospital Charitable Foundation, the exhibit is located on the first floor, South Corridor and runs through February 2017.

Featuring 39 photographs depicting a wide range of subjects and scenes, from convertibles in Cuba to a sunset on the Serengeti, thirteen of the fourteen photographers are physicians from NWH, including President Michael R. Jaff, DO.

“This exhibit has transformed a hospital hallway into a leisurely stroll that brings a smile to people's faces,“ said Jay Cohen, MD, a dermatologist on staff at NWH and a featured photographer. “I've witnessed patients, visitors and staff pause to observe the exhibit. It gives people a sense of community, enables us to start conversations with patients, and makes our hospital an even more welcoming place.”

The following physicians have photos on display:

Dr. Michael R. Jaff, President of Newton-Wellesley Hospital; Dr. Jay Cohen, Dermatology; Dr. Jami Rubens, Radiology; Dr. Avrohm Melnick, Primary Care; Dr. Sandy Renna, Dermatology; Dr. Len Freedberg, Psychiatry; Dr. Hubert Caplan, Rheumatology; Dr. Alan Silken, Pediatric Neurology; Dr. William Liaw, Primary Care; Dr. Lynn Baden, Dermatology; Dr. Michael Lew, Infectious Diseases; Dr. Aaron Gardiner, Orthopaedics; and Dr. Mark Belsky, Hand Surgery.
