Tribute to Charlotte Gerson
Charlotte's passing continues to reverberate throughout the world and remains paramount in our hearts and daily lives as we continue to integrate the impact that this fiery, one-in-7.7 billion woman has etched upon humanity. Without Charlotte and her endless passion, dedication, wisdom, knowledge and the fortitude to climb every mountain and brave every storm, countless lives would have been lost and the Gerson Institute would not be doing what we have been doing for over forty years.
