New Directions Luncheon
Join us for the annual New Directions Luncheon benefiting National Jewish Health, the leading respiratory hospital in the nation. The funds raised will support the research initiatives and the compassionate care that benefit patients with COVID-19, asthma, COPD, autoimmune diseases and all other respiratory, cardiac and immune-related disorders in which National Jewish Health specializes.
Speaker Diane K. Shah

She was one of the first female sportswriters and wrote celebrity cover stories for national magazines. She navigated obstacles, shattered glass ceilings and became a prolific author. Diane Shah is a trustee of National Jewish Health and has been a long time supporter. She has been published in The New York Times, Esquire, ESPN the magazine, Playboy and authored or co-authored seven books. One of her columns was included in David Halberstam’s The Best American Sports Writing of the Century. She is a trustee of National Jewish Health and has been a longtime supporter of the hospital.
