Last November was an awards ceremony at St. Joe’s Annual Charity Ball. It was held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Three individuals were selected to received awards. The retiring hospital president, William MacDonald, and the head of Cardiology, Anthony LaSorda MD were my co-honorees. I was selected as the Distinguished Physician of St. Joseph’s Wayne Hospital where I currently serve as the Chairman of the Department of Orthopedics.
One of the fun aspects is having my picture up on a billboard on Route 80 in Paterson NJ where it has remained for the past 3 months. I have no idea when it is supposed to come down.
Here is how it looks from the hospital window.
