A Better Kind of Cancer Care

“At Winthrop, not only are all the cancer services in the same location, so are the physicians.”

Dr. Eva Chalas is Winthrop’s Director of Clinical Cancer Services and Chief of Gynecologic Oncology. She joined Winthrop upon completing her fellowship at a major cancer center in New York City. A nationally recognized leader in women’s health and gynecologic cancer, Dr. Chalas was named a “Physician of Distinction” by the American Cancer Society.

“Most individuals diagnosed with cancer require multimodality therapy – surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. So there’s real value when a patient’s entire care team is in regular, face-to-face contact, tailoring the best treatment plan for the patient.

“Most of our physicians have trained at some of the nation’s top institutions. I like to say I am surrounded

by A+ people. The administration here is committed to making sure our cancer services are the absolute best they can be. I’m proud that Winthrop is the only Long Island hospital named on the Becker’s List of 100 hospitals in the United States that provide excellent cancer care.”

A&E Calendar cont’d MAIN GALLERIES Through March 8, 2015 China Then and Now China Then and Now brings together exemplary Chinese works of art from the classical, early modern and contemporary periods. The exhibition explores three millennia of one of the world’s most important artistic traditions from the perspective of American collectors on Long Island, such as Childs and Frances Frick and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler. The exhibition opens on Nov. 22, and remains on view through March 8.

SECOND FLOOR GALLERIES Through March 8 Long Island Collects the Arts of China An exhibition drawn from the holdings of Long Islanders whose collections include exceptional Chinese art in a variety of media. Many of these works have never or rarely-before been seen by the public.

PERMANENT COLLECTION GALLERY Through March 8 Louis Comfort Tiffany: Works on Paper Tiffany artworks from the museum’s permanent collection CONTEMPORARY COLLECTORS GALLERY Through March 8 Gavin Rain A native of Cape Town, South Africa, Gavin Rain works primarily in a neo-pointillist style.

He cites two main narratives in his work: Hidden in plain sight, in which the subject cannot be seen until the viewer takes a few steps back; and Pseudo digital, in which the artist uses rows of dots in a pattern similar to television or computer screens. He credits Seurat, Russian avant garde art of the 1900s and the work of many architects as his main artistic influences. Rain’s work has been seen in solo and group exhibitions throughout the world.

March 21 to July 12 Out of the Vault: 25 Years of Collecting In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Nassau County Museum of Art presents its first comprehensive exhibition of permanent collection works in Out of the Vault: 25 Years of Collecting. This presentation highlights patrons’ numerous gifts to the Museum over the last quarter century that have never, or rarely, been exhibited.

ONGOING Sculpture Park More than 40 works, many of them monumental in size, by renowned artists including Fernando Botero, Tom Otterness, George Rickey and Mark DiSuvero among others are situated to interact with nature on the museum’s magnificent 145-acre property.

Walking Trails The museum’s 145 acres include many marked nature trails through the woods, perfect for family hikes or independent exploration.

Gardens From restored formal gardens of historic importance to quiet little nooks for dreaming away an afternoon, the museum’s 145 acre property features many lush examples of horticultural arts. Come view our expanded gardens and beautiful new path to the museum.

EVENTS Through March 8(with exceptions for specific programs) FILM: The Other Eye The Other Eye is the first film about artist Liu Dan, China’s major modern-day exponent of ink painting. A selection of the artist’s work is on view in the museum’s current major exhibition devoted to the arts of China, from earliest times to the present. In The Other Eye

we see a remarkable glimpse into Liu Dan’s creative process as he creates a large-scale landscape. Filmmaker Fan Xiaochun, has customized a 15-minute excerpt for the Museum from her longer documentary film about Liu Dan’s work. Free with Museum admission.
