Arts:Design
Join in this special interview with Rebecca Rothstein -- Board Chairwoman, Executive Committee Chair and founding member of Teen Cancer America -- an organization founded by The Who’s, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. The mission of Teen Cancer America is to raise the bar on how young people with cancer are treated by establishing specialized facilities and services to help meet their physical and emotional needs.
Rebecca was a dream to interview. She’s the real deal; authentic and big hearted. She shares how teens and young adults with cancer are selected for a board of advisors and described how they get to design their own teen lounges and spaces within their units. Yes, that’s patients designing for their own unique needs in the hospital setting! If you want to hear something new and heart warming in the world of hospital design, then you are going to love this episode!
Rebecca Rothstein is a Managing Director and Private Wealth Advisor at Merrill Lynch Private Bank & Investment Group and became involved with Teen Cancer through her friendship with musician Roger Daltrey. She has been quoted as saying “It’s always been Roger’s dream to bring the teen cancer cause to America, and I’m honored to help him achieve that vision.”
In 2017, Forbes named Rebecca one of “America’s Top Wealth Advisors” and in 2018 recognized her as the #1 “Top Women’s Wealth Advisor.” She focuses on helping high-net- worth individuals, families and institutions pursue their financial goals through wealth management and tax minimization strategies and legacy planning services. Rebecca believes in the power of building positive relationships with her clients and truly, she’s got a heart of gold.
