Dr. Keber, who has been with the Glen Cove Hospital for close to forty years, chairs the Family Medicine Department and has made a profound impact on the community. “When we were deciding on prospective candidates to honor at this year’s Golf Classic, Dr. Keber’s name kept coming up over and over again. She was the perfect choice for this year’s outing,” said Liz Luciano, who co-chairs the event with friend and real estate partner, Jean Marie Stalzer. “Dr. Keber is a pioneer in her field and is also just a beautiful person,” said Stalzer.
