Goldberg decided to become a cardiologist because her father suffered from heart disease while she was in high school.[2] Goldberg is a graduate of Barnard College and SUNY Downstate Medical Center.[3] She did her medical residency at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center and a cardiology fellowship at SUNY Downstate.[4] During her time in medical school, she was dismayed to find out that "all medical care was based on what was normal for a 165-pound man".[5]

Career

Goldberg is the Medical Director at the Joan H. Tisch Center for Women’s Health at the

NYU School of Medicine.[1]

Advocate for women’s heart health

During Goldberg's early training as a doctor, she observed that many women were not being properly diagnosed in regards to heart diseases.[2] Goldberg also discusses how women often neglect their own health in favor of focusing on their family's health issues.[6]

Goldberg is a national spokesperson for the American Heart Association and has been in the forefront of the AHA "Go Red for Women" campaign.[9] Goldberg’s involvement as a leadership volunteer with not-for profit organizations concerned with women’s health also includes: co-medical director of the 92nd Street Y Cardio Rehab Program,[10] membership on the Board of Directors of the Society for Women’s Health Research (2015–Present)[11] and as a member of the Woman’s Day Editorial Advisory Board.[12]

Goldberg was part of General Mills’ cereal promotion that featured her likeness with a public service message on 3,000,000 boxes of Wheat Chex and MultiGrain Chex in 2004.[13] She has also been recognized by the American Heart Association’s "Dr. with Heart Award", Woman’s Day magazine’s "Red Dress Award" in 2005,[14] Jewish Women International’s "Women to Watch" Award, and "The Women at Heart" 2006 Honoree Award from the Links Greater New York Chapter.[15]

Writing

Goldberg wrote Women are Not Small Men: Life-Saving Strategies for Preventing and Healing Heart Disease in Women in order to combat misinformation and ignorance about women's cardiovascular health.[16] It was updated later and retitled The Women’s Healthy Heart Program – Lifesaving Strategies for Preventing and Healing Heart Disease.
