She completed a medical degree at New York Medical College and worked for many years as a physician in private practice. Dr. Beck retired as a physiatrist with Easton Area Rehab Physicians, which she co-owned. She received the President?s Award of Merit in 2007 for her distinguished accomplishments. Dr. Beck met her husband at Ramapo College where he was a laboratory technician from 1973 to 1976. He, too, is retired.
