Kardong poses in St. Petersburg with the young street vendor who had just
sold her the cold-weather Russian hat.

GLORIA M. KARDONG, adjunct clinical assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, was the only West Coast psychiatrist to join a group of 30 U.S. psychiatrists who traveled to Russia last October as a delegate for the People to People Ambassador Program. She met with Russian colleagues to collaborate professionally and personally toward common goals. She said one of her most poignant experiences was meeting at a Moscow hospital with some of the children who survived the terrorist attack last year in Beslan. The People to People Ambassador Program was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower 45 years ago. Kardong has practiced on Welch Road for 15 years and specializes in working at the interface between psychiatry and OB-GYN.
