Chef Dominique Crenn, The First Female Recipient Of Three Michelin Stars In The United States, To Be Honored At March of Dimes Los Angeles Signature Chefs Auction

August 14, 2019

Culinary Celebrities Join Forces at L.A.’s Premier Tasting Event to Fight for the Health of All Moms and Babies

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — March of Dimes will present world-renowned chef Dominique Crenn with the 2019 MOD ICON Award for her culinary excellence and her relentless push for innovation, sustainability and equality at the Signature Chefs Auction, L.A.’s premier charity tasting event. The philanthropic evening will take place on Thursday, October 17, 2019 at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. Culinary celebrities Brooke Williamson, Timothy Hollingsworth, Aarti Sequeira and Nancy Silverton, the 2018 March of Dimes ICON Award honoree, are joining forces with more than 12 local master chefs to raise critical funds to benefit the March of Dimes’ mission to lead the fight for the health of all moms and babies. Tony Hale, Emmy-award winning actor who plays “Forky” in Toy Story 4, will host the evening.

Dominique Crenn is the co-owner and chef of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Atelier Crenn in San Francisco. Crenn was featured on the second season of the popular Netflix series “Chef’s Table,” and is one of the most acclaimed chefs in the United States; she was awarded the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef: West in 2018 and Best Female Chef in 2016 by World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards. “I am so happy to support March of Dimes – an organization which drives innovation and works for equality to improve the health of moms and babies for more than 80 years,” says Ms. Crenn.

Mark Owens, CEO of Rogers & Cowan and chair of this year’s event, says, “We are thrilled to be able to recognize one of the world’s greatest chefs! We are so grateful to Dominique for her support; it makes a huge difference and helps us raise much-needed funds to address the health crisis moms and babies are facing in our country. The United States is the most dangerous developed nation in which to give birth. Pregnancy-related death has more than doubled over the past 25 years.”

The United States is in the midst of a maternal and child health crisis with more than more than 50,000 women experiencing life-threatening complications as a result of pregnancy and childbirth and 380,000 babies born prematurely each year. Chronic inequities and unequal access to quality health care have a negative impact on these rates. For example, these are among the factors that contribute to the reality that women of color are up to 50 percent more likely to deliver prematurely and their children can face a 130 percent higher infant death rate compared to children of white women. March of Dimes is working in communities across the country to reduce the rising rates of premature birth, as well as maternal mortality and morbidity.

“These disparities are unjust and unacceptable,” says Tim Duffy, Co-President Ugly Brother Studios and co-chair of the Los Angeles Signature Chefs Auction. “We are raising funds to help March of Dimes tackle these urgent health issues and work to level the playing field so that all moms and babies are healthy through pioneering research, advocating for policies at the national, state and local level and to empower families with programs, knowledge and tools to have healthier pregnancies.”

“I am delighted to be part of this incredible evening to help raise funds for this important organization that supports women before, during and after pregnancy to ensure all moms and babies are healthy,” says Aarti Sequeira, award-winning journalist/producer and Food Network celebrity chef. “I support the work March of Dimes is doing to create a space for us to share our stories about the less than savory side of parenting – from postpartum depression to loss to the day-to-day struggles to be a mom and being a mom.”

“We are grateful to work with these talented chefs who are artists, innovators and philanthropists,” says Amy Dittmore, Senior Development Manager for March of Dimes Greater Los Angeles. “This exclusive evening is a great opportunity to experience the carefully curated menu designed to taste the diverse epicurean talent in Los Angeles, while celebrating and supporting this great cause.”

Twelve of Los Angeles’s most innovative chefs are bringing their passion to this year’s Signature Chefs Auction: Chef Holly Jivin of Bazaar by Jose Andres; Chef Travis Strickland of Baltaire; Chef Nyesha Arrington — new restaurant opening soon; Chef Evan Funke — Felix Trattoria; Chef Curtis Stone — Gwen; Chef Timothy Hollingsworth — Otium; Chef Nancy Silverton — Mozza,chi Spacca; Chef Sang Yoon — Lukshon; Chef Sushi Nozawa — Kazunori by Sushi Nozawa; Chef Kuniko Yagi — Pikunico; Chef Phillip Frankland Lee — Scratch Bar and Kitchen; Chef Jason Neroni — The Rose Venice; Chef Raphael Francois — Tesse; Chef Brian Dunsmoor — Hatchell Hall; Chef Jonathan Aviles — Salazar.

The evening begins at 6:00 p.m. with an extraordinary tasting of the most desirable cuisine, prepared and served by culinary masters from top local establishments, followed by a seated dessert program and a rousing live auction, offering an opportunity to bid on insider packages and unique experiences. Billy Harris returns as auctioneer. Table of 10 for the event is $5,000.

First-Of-Its-Kind Research Examines The Relationship Between Asthma Rates, Disease Control And Depression

August 13, 2019

NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Asthma is underdiagnosed and undertreated in older Americans, leading to poor outcomes. Older asthma patients who also suffer from depression have double the rates of hospitalization than those without depression. Physician-researchers from premier academic health systems Montefiore and Mount Sinai, as well as Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, are launching a first-of-its-kind study to examine the relationships between asthma-related inflammation, adherence to treatment, and major depression in older adults, with the goal of improving care and quality of life for this vulnerable population.

Previous studies have linked depression and inflammation, but how and why they are linked remains unknown. Asthma and aging are also characterized by inflammation, and therefore depression can potentially exacerbate these inflammatory changes and contribute to worse clinical outcomes.

“People with asthma and depression are impacted in two ways—they have greater inflammation of the lungs’ airways and are less likely to take their daily controller medications, which are the first line of defense,” said Jonathan Feldman, Ph.D., associate professor of pediatrics, Division of Academic General Pediatrics, Einstein and the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore. “We know that depression leads to worse outcomes in patients with asthma, so we want to take a closer look at what is happening—both emotionally and physiologically.”

The $3.4 million National Heart Lung and Blood Institute-funded research is one of the largest studies ever conducted on asthma in the elderly. The socio-demographics of the population in this study mirror most urban cities in the United States.

Previous studies conducted by this team of researchers found that inner-city older adults with asthma had:

A 36% higher rate of depressive symptoms,
Worse asthma control and quality of life scores, particularly among minorities,
Rates of adherence to asthma controller medications as low as 50%, even following asthma-related hospitalizations.

There are also negative implications for the entire U.S. healthcare system. A nationwide database for emergency department visits between 2006 and 2008, found that people 55 and older who visited the emergency department for asthma, had higher rates of related hospitalizations, longer stays and more near-fatal asthma events.

“Asthma in older patients is largely understudied and a major unmet medical need,” said Paula J. Busse, M.D., associate professor of medicine, Division of Clinical Immunology, at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “Older, compared to younger patients with asthma, tend to have worse outcomes including higher rates of morbidity and mortality from their disease. Furthermore, asthma in older patients is often not recognized and undertreated. This funding allows us to investigate the underlying inflammation in older patients with asthma, which is not well characterized, and how it can be altered by depression. This knowledge can translate to new approaches of asthma therapy in the aged, and document the need for developing a multidisciplinary treatment approach for this vulnerable patient population.”

“We have put together a multidisciplinary team of experts in psychology, behavioral medicine, chronic disease self-management, and inflammation to disentangle the mechanisms underlying the relationship between depression and worse asthma outcomes,” said Juan Wisnivesky, M.D., Chief, Division of General Internal Medicine, professor of medicine and pulmonary medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “Our study may identify novel targets for asthma therapy as well as help develop behavioral interventions for self-management.”

The study will enroll 400 English and Spanish-speaking adults over 60 with persistent asthma who are receiving an asthma controller medication. Half of the study participants will have major depression. Following the initial assessment, they will be followed at six, 12 and 18 months with repeated assessments of depression, inflammation, and medication adherence. The four-year study will launch this September 2019.
