Three physicians in practice at Westchester Sport and Spine in White Plains have joined the orthopedics team at White Plains Hospital Physician Associates, hospital officials announced this week. They are orthopedic surgeons Rick Weinstein and Michael Gott and physiatrist Syed Rahman.

He has been a member of the National Ski Patrol since 1995.
