After 57 years, our chapter won the 2020 American Academy of Pediatrics Outstanding Chapter Award for Large Chapter!  Our last win in the “Large Chapter” category was during the Johnson Administration in 1964 –pre-dating the Medicaid program.  This was truly a historic moment for the chapter and an achievement we all share.  A special thanks to Vice-President Dr. Robert Lee, Secretary Dr. Sanjivan Patel and Treasurer Dr. Pinchi Srinivasan.  It is even more special for us to receive this honor after an unprecedented year.  Despite being the epicenter of a worldwide pandemic and facing never-before seen challenges, there is no resilience like New York Resilience!
