(NY- April 20, 2016)—Jamee Goldstein, DO, of Allied Physicians Group’s Monroe Pediatrics, located at 70 Gilbert Street, in Monroe, NY, was presented with the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians (ACOP) 2016 Harold H. Finkel, DO and Arnold Melnick, DO Community Pediatrician of the Year Award at an award reception at the ACOP 2016 Spring Conference in Phoenix, AZ, on Saturday, April 16.
The Harold H. Finkel, DO award was established in memory of Dr. Finkel, whose 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. His memory is honored by recognizing colleagues through this award who have embraced those values and by their actions have distinguished themselves in their community and served the 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.
