Lenny Zakim spent his whole adult life bringing people together. He had no quit in him, despite battling bone marrow cancer for five years before his death in 1999 at 46-years-old. “To be told you have an incurable cancer means you’ve got to pull whatever strings you have.

I really believe it’s a failure of Western medicine not to integrate all of this.” The Leonard P. Zakim Center for Integrative Therapies and Healthy Living at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute now does all of this under one roof. (Stan Grossfeld, 6/17)
