St. Luke's-Roosevelt
Hospital Center, an Academic Affiliate of Columbia University College
of Physicians and Surgeons, is a 1,076-bed, full-service community
and tertiary care hospital. St. Luke's-Roosevelt was formed in 1979
by a merger of St. Luke's Hospital, adjacent to the campus of Columbia
University, and The Roosevelt Hospital, located two blocks west
of Columbus Circle. The St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospitals, established
in 1846 and 1871, respectively, brought to their merger extraordinary
records of medical "firsts" and commitment to their patients.
St. Luke's-Roosevelt
also is widely respected for high quality clinical care and for
its contributions to research. Throughout its history St. Luke's-Roosevelt
also has placed strong emphasis on responding with compassion and
sensitivity to the unique needs of the communities it serves, including
areas whose residents have multiple social and economic challenges.
The Hospital Center's ability to serve these populations is enhanced
through relationships with groups including the William F. Ryan
Community Health Center and the Council Health Center, as well as
through school-based clinics at area high schools. St. Luke's-Roosevelt
initiates and supports a wide range of community health-focused
activities and maintains an extensive network of relationships with
churches and community groups throughout the West Side and Upper
Manhattan.
Roosevelt Hospital
offers a special wing of private rooms and suites that features
deluxe amenities in an appealing environment.

"Body
Composition & Metabolic Function Across the Lifespan"
Symposium
The meeting
will take place under the auspices of the New York Obesity Research
Center, the Body Composition Laboratories in conjunction with St.
Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital and Columbia University.
The modern era of human body composition research involves new methodology
development, compartment modeling, and its translation to understanding
growth, aging, and disease processes. Whether it is the study of
childhood or adult obesity, weight gain or loss, metabolic function
or disease, an understanding of which body components are of clinical
relevance is important.
This symposium with its theme “Body Composition & Metabolic
Function Across the Lifespan” will convene many of the leading
scientists in their respective fields who are involved in body composition
research. The objectives of this symposium include:
the dissemination of up-to-date information on new and potential
future developments in the field of body composition research with
clinically relevant end-points; the dissemination of research findings
arising from recent scientific investigations that demonstrate the
importance/utility of measuring body composition for the understanding
of clinically important questions; a review of the advances made
in the last 3 years in body composition research, with particular
emphasis on translational aspects of the advances (with application
to clinical research-growth, aging, obesity, and diseases); encouragement
of young investigators to attend to further the objective of training
new investigators in the field; publication of the conference proceedings
in a journal stressing the important issues discussed.
The meeting offers an opportunity to share experiences, network,
and refresh old friendships. We welcome you to join us and be part
of this unique event. "
