\"Jessie<\/a>We reported five weeks ago<\/a> about the\u00a0passing of Jessie Gruman, one of the greatest figures in our movement, founder of the Center for Advancing Health<\/a>\u00a0(CFAH), founding co-editor-in-chief of our Journal of Participatory Medicine, and much more.\u00a0CFAH has since expanded on her memory with several additional pages:<\/p>\n

Remembering Jessie Gruman<\/a>\u00a0(July 18, 2014)<\/p>\n

Recent Tributes to Jessie Gruman, CFAH Founder and President<\/a>\u00a0(July 25, 2014)<\/p>\n

Lessons From a Fallen Hero, Jessie Gruman<\/a>\u00a0(August 6, 2014)<\/p>\n

See, too, the causes she supported, at bottom of this post.<\/p>\n

Two October gatherings have been announced to remember Jessie, one in New York where she lived, the other in DC, home of CFAH, and they’ve been gracious enough to invite the public. See also the official Jessie Gruman page<\/a> on the CFAH site.<\/p>\n

Please note the different RSVP info for each event:<\/p>\n
