Heather and Wayne Jervis hosted a lovely breakfast at their home for the committee for the Fifth Annual Mount Sinai Greening Our Children Luncheon, coming up on Monday, May 7, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Come learn how toxic exposures in pregnancy and early childhood may contribute to rising rates of disease in children and discover simple steps for prevention. You will hear from Philip J. Landrigan, MD, MSc, renowned pediatrician and expert in children’s environmental health. Dr. Landrigan is the Director of Mount Sinai’s Children’s Environmental Health Center (www.cehcenter.org), Ethel H. Wise Professor and Chair of the Department of Preventative Medicine, Dean of Global Health, and Professor of Pediatrics at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

The luncheon features a fantastic green expo where guests can learn about, see and touch healthy green products and services and our 5th annual silent auction is filled with priceless trips, one of a kind experiences and much more.

All proceeds will support the work of the Mount Sinai Children’s Environmental Health Center by funding important pilot projects to discover the causes of these diseases.
