On October 2nd, the SUNY Downstate General Surgery Wellness Committee hosted its annual Pumpkin Carving Contest, bringing residents, faculty, and staff together for a day of creativity and fun.

The event was full of energy and good spirit as participants took a break from their usual routines to enjoy some friendly competition and fall festivities. It was a great opportunity to pause, reconnect, and celebrate wellness within the department.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the event such a success and congratulations to this year’s winners!
