The Ninth Annual Irving B. Perlstein Gerontology Lectureship
Dr. Irving B. Perlstein was a respected member of the Medical Staff at Jewish Hospital during his long and rewarding career. A native of Buffalo, New York and a graduate of the University of Buffalo in 1939, Dr. Perlstein completed his internship and residency at Jewish Hospital.

Specializing in Internal Medicine, Dr. Perlstein was recognized for his significant research on aging and thyroid dysfunction. His book, “Diet Is Not Enough,” was published in 1963.

Dr. Perlstein passed away on August 6, 1995 and this lectureship was created by his family as a living memorial to him and his commitment to his patients and healthcare. It is with great pride we present the Ninth Annual Irving B. Perlstein Gerontology Lectureship in his honor and memory.
