User:Morrell Avram

Morrell Avram, MD (born c. 1930) is a Romanian-American nephrologist who is a pioneer in kidney disease research. In 1971, Dr. Avram established the Avram Center for Kidney Diseases at Long Island College Hospital. The center had the distinction of keeping a patient, Essie Rinehart, alive on dialysis for 38 years—longer than any other center in the world. [1] He became Chief of the Avram Division of Nephrology and was named a Professor of Medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. In addition to his highly-cited article in The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Avram has published over two hundred research papers and four books. [2] He also served as a Trustee of St Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital and Beth Israel Medical Center. [3]

Avram Theater

The Avram Theater and the adjacent Avram Family Art Gallery at Stony Brook Southampton were named after Dr. Avram and his wife in 1998. [4] The 429-seat theater is one of the leading venues for the arts in the Hamptons. Some highlight events include the highly-acclaimed Southampton Writers Conference; the Center for Wine, Food and Culture conferences; the Young American Writers Project play festivals; and the ever popular Pianofest hosted by pianist Paul Schenly.

Personal life

Dr. Avram was born in Bucharest, Romania to a Jewish family and immigrated to America in 1946 to escape the Nazis. He claimed that during Nazi occupation in Romania, he witnessed Jews strung on "meat hooks reserved for cattle." [5] He settled in Brooklyn Heights, New York and still lives there with his wife. He has five children and 12 grandchildren.
