After graduation in 1958, Dr. Zamoyski took her internship at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. While there she met Ammiel D. Schwartz, MD, who was taking his OB-GYN residency there.

They married on Valentine's Day, 1960, and, after finishing their training, set up practice at 175 Main Street in Brewster in 1961.

They had 3 children: Jonathan, 51; Jennifer, 50; and Michael, 49.

Dr. Zamoyski was at different times a boarded family physician, health officer, school doctor, 10 years as President Putnam County Health Department, and ultimately full-time and teaching in the Department of Medicine at Westchester Medical Center in Valhallah. She also was part of the first Medical Board of Putnam Community Hospital.
