WASHINGTON, May 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Dr. Sanford "Sandy" Siegel of Baltimore, MD and Mrs. Sherry S. Galloway of Albuquerque, NM are new members of ZERO's Board of Directors.
Dr. Siegel is the President and CEO of Chesapeake Urology Associates, the largest urology practice in Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic Region with 16 urology centers, the Prostate Center, the Incontinence Center and 14 surgical centers throughout the greater Baltimore, Maryland area. He initiated the Chesapeake Urology Scholarship Program and was a leader in establishing the Chesapeake Urology Scholar through the American Urological Association Foundation.
In 2007, Dr. Siegel led the formation of the "Great Prostate Cancer Challenge" (GPCC) to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer research. GPCC 5K races, in partnership with ZERO's DASH FOR DAD race series, represent the premier men's health race event in the U.S. which is coming to 12 cities this year and engaging more than 6,000 runners and 10,000 volunteers, spectators and supporters.
Dr. Siegel graduated from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and received specialty training at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia. He has practiced urology in the Baltimore area for more than 20 years and is certified by the American Board of Urology.
Mrs. Galloway is a Registered Nurse. She received an A.A. in registered nursing and a B.A. in psychology. She worked as an emergency room nurse for almost 30 years and then attended Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA, where she studied massage therapy. She later relocated to Albuquerque where she taught medical massage at the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts in Santa Fe.
Currently, Mrs. Galloway works as a Registered Nurse and also teaches at the Central New Mexico City College system which has five campuses. Her work involves informing the student population about various diseases, particularly cancer, and teaching awareness.
Mrs. Galloway directly experienced the impact of prostate cancer as her husband is a prostate cancer survivor. Her only son, 36-year-old Jeremy, died from prostate cancer in 2007 after an 18-month struggle. She became involved with ZERO during the period of her son's illness when she would contact the organization for information and support. She joined ZERO's Founders Club, attended ZERO's annual Summit to End Prostate Cancer in Washington, DC, and testified before a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee in support of prostate cancer research. She plans to write a book about her son's story to raise public awareness of prostate cancer and the need for increased research to find a cure.
