Dear Dr. Goldstein,
Congratulations! You have been chosen to receive the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians (ACOP)2016 Harold H. Finkel, DO and Arnold Melnick, DO Community Pediatrician of the Year Award.
The Harold H. Finkel, DO award was established in memory of Dr. Finkel whose illustrious career spanned over 50 years of community pediatric practice. He was known for his exceptional care and availability to his patients, his commitment to students, interns, residents, addressing community child health needs, advocating for the most vulnerable children and service to the ACOP.
We honor his memory by recognizing colleagues through this award who have embraced those values and by their actions have distinguished themselves in their community and served our profession with distinction.
In 2013, the ACOP, with the blessing from Dr. Finkel's family, added Arnold Melnick, DO to the name of the award. Dr. Melnick, who serves as Emeritus Editor of PULSE, has served the ACOP in many capacities since 1946. Both are Past Presidents of the ACOP. Close personal friends, they collaborated for years on many ACOP activities, and this award memorializes their friendship and partnership.
The award presentation will be held during the ACOP 2016 Spring Conference in Phoenix, AZ, April 14-17, 2016. The award will be presented on Saturday, April 16, 2016 during the Awards Reception.
As the recipient of the 2016 Harold H. Finkel, DO and Arnold Melnick, DO Community Pediatrician of the Year Award, you will receive complimentary registration for the conference.
Thank you for your exceptional care of children and commitment to teaching. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Kim Battle, Association Manager, at 804-565-6323 or .
