Join Dr. Robert Falcone for the Opening of "Butterfly Collection" in Honor of Deborah M. Meesig, MD, JD

Dr. Robert Falcone invites you to the opening of his latest exhibition, "Butterfly Collection," on Sunday, September 8th, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Lindsay Gallery, 986 N. High St., Columbus, OH.

This collection, depicting butterflies in specimen boxes, was beloved by his late wife, Deborah M. Meesig, MD, JD. Deborah was a remarkable figure—breaking barriers in health care and a self-taught designer who created her own garments. In her honor, all proceeds from art sales will benefit the Deborah Meesig Endowed Scholarship Fund at the Columbus College of Art and Design, which supports aspiring fashion design students.

Please join Dr. Falcone in celebrating Deborah's life and legacy through art, and contribute to a cause that was close to her heart.

American Psychiatric Association Foundation’s "Mental Healthcare Works" Campaign

As the President of the Ohio Psychiatric Physicians Association, I am committed to advancing mental health care. In collaboration with the Columbus Medical Association, I’m excited to introduce the American Psychiatric Association Foundation’s "Mental Healthcare Works" campaign. This initiative is designed to empower people to take that crucial first step toward mental health support.

Mental health care works when you make the call—and we can all help by sharing this powerful message with patients and colleagues. Download the flyer here and spread the word. Together, we can make a real impact on our community’s mental wellness.

Remember, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available by dialing 988. Let’s inspire our community to take action and access the care they deserve.
