Dr. Raymond Singer, a 1976 Cheltenham High School graduate and Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Jefferson Einstein Hospital, recently published a top-selling new book on titled I Used To Be An Athlete: The Three E’s For The Preservation Of Youth.

From the book’s description:

This book was written for me! If you happen to benefit from anything I’ve written, terrific. But the person who would benefit the most from this book is its author. You see, I used to be an athlete. I loved sports as a kid. In college I set my sights on my career which meant that I worked more and exercised less. Yet I was still used to eating a lot. Now decades have passed, and I ache all the time. I’ve enjoyed a successful career as a doctor, but as they say, “Doctor, heal thyself!” Like me, as an adult, I bet you have joined several gyms over the years, but rarely use any of them, at least not on a consistent basis. You’ve tried almost every fad diet for at least for a week or two. You used to think pasta was good for you. Then you became a carnivorous caveman and ate every animal on the earth. Then you tried fasting! Now you have no freaking clue what to eat! My book simplifies it all for you… for us! The “Three E’s” –Eating, Exercise, and Emotion is all you ever really needed to understand. Thank you for taking my advice… I’m hoping I will do the same!

Dr. Singer received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Muhlenberg College and his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. In summer 2024, Dr. Singer donated $100,000 to Jefferson Einstein to build an innovative conference room.
