For Bryan and Margie Weingarten, their relationship with Weill Cornell Medicine’s Genetics and Personalized Cancer Prevention Program is extending beyond the medical center and into Aspen.

Bryan and Margie Weingarten’s support for cancer prevention and medical innovation at Weill Cornell Medicine is helping connect groundbreaking research with the patients and families who depend on it.

A person’s future is influenced by many things: education, determination, experience, and opportunity. But sometimes one of the most important influences is another person. A mentor can provide perspective at a critical moment, introduce someone to a new possibility, or offer encouragement when the path forward is uncertain. For Bryan and Margie Weingarten, supporting people […]

For Bryan and […]

A community’s cultural life is about more than performances, exhibitions, and events. Arts organizations can become places where young people discover creative interests, adults encounter new ideas, families share experiences, and neighbors develop a stronger connection to the place they call home. In Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley, cultural institutions have long contributed to […]

A child discovering a creative interest. A student learning to perform in front of an audience. A family attending a cultural event together. An artist finding a place […]

Healthcare becomes more meaningful when patients do not have to navigate every part of the system on their own. For women and families in the Roaring Fork Valley, that principle is particularly important.
