The Optical Women's Association Connection Series will feature author and speaker Dr. Connie Mariano on Thursday, September 23, from noon to 1:30 pm at the Las Vegas Venetian, Titian Rm 2302 and via streaming on Facebook Live.
Dr. Mariano is used to breaking barriers. She is the first woman to be White House Physician to three American presidents, the first female Director of the White House Medical Unit, and the first Filipino American to become a Navy Rear Admiral.
Born in the Philippines, her father a Navy steward and her mother a dentist, Dr. Mariano lived the life of a family in the American armed forces. A career Naval Officer and board-certified specialist in internal medicine, Dr. Mariano's career has taken her around the globe — aboard Navy ships and Air Force One. After leaving the White House in 2001, Dr. Mariano became a consultant to the Executive Health Program at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale where she now has a private medical practice.
