Joyce was the brilliant, hardworking and highly respected legal counsel for Maimonides Medical Center for many years. As an attorney for another NYC medical center, I often saw Joyce at health law conferences and meetings. She was a lovely person, and I always enjoyed speaking with her and appreciated her sage remarks. A life very well lived.
I extend my deepest condolences to Joyce´s beloved family.

She was a wonderful , warm , smart and caring friend who very devoted to her nieces- she often spoke about them and their accomplishments with great pride and love.
