Spend a little time with Julie Ratner, who created the Ellen Hermanson Foundation and then, the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, and one thing becomes clear. More than a figurehead and fundraiser, she has been a spiritual support to countless women on the East End diagnosed with breast cancer. Her foundation is also a financial support to those in need of the free state of the art care that is her creed. Complain about your crows feet and she will lovingly remind you aging is a privilege: she had just left the bedside of a 30-something woman who will never see her own children grow up.
