Dr. Connie Mariano - First Woman to Head the White House Medical Unit

At the time of her retirement, the first female Filipino to become Navy Rear Admiral

May 14, 12pm

The Hotel Bellevue, 11200 Southeast Sixth St. Bellevue

Keynote Speaker “Breaking the Glass Ceiling”

The whole world had its eyes on her during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. She had to draw former President William Clinton’s blood to see if his DNA matched the stain on the infamous blue dress. How did an immigrant woman from humble beginnings find herself be the physician to the leaders of the free world? Dr. Connie Mariano will be the first to say, being the White House doctor was not something that happened overnight. She said for every opportunity she was given, she excelled.

This is your chance to meet Dr. Mariano, the physician to three U.S. Presidents and the author of “The White House Doctor.” (Former President Clinton wrote the foreward of her book.)

Dr. Mariano will share her journey, to, during, and after the White House.  How did she deal with discrimination in the military as a woman and an immigrant? What did she say in her interview to join the White House Medical Team? What is Dr. Mariano doing today?

he event is hosted by ASCEND, a non-profit organization that nurtures today’s Pan-Asian leaders as well as tomorrow’s.  To register for the event, please go to this website.

Registration starts at noon. There’s an opportunity to have your book signed by Dr. Mariano. (Please bring your book.)
