AANPA - News and Announcements

The 2009 Paragon Award for the PA-Physician Team has been awarded to our own Laurie Benton and Dr. Charlie Foulks!!! What a way to bring nephrology to the forefront! And shine a light on the incredible job that Laurie has done for us for a number of years. For those of you who have been privileged to deal with Charlie and Laurie over the years (as they taught at ASN, RPA , NKF and AAPA and developed the CKD CD that we still use), you know how much they deserved this honor. For those of you who have not had a chance to interact with them, take our word for it! They are an incredible team!! We are thrilled that they won, we wish them congratulations and we look forward to the presentation in San Diego on Saturday May 23rd at 10am. If you are going to be in Southern California, please stop by for the ceremony!

PHYSICIAN-PA PARTNERSHIP AWARD
This award honors a physician-PA team that exemplifies the unique relationship of trust, collegiality, and mutual respect that is essential to the PA profession. This physician-PA team displays evidence of collaboration that allows both the PA and the physician to provide greater medical service to their patients and their community than either one would be able to do alone.

AANPA won the AAPA 2008 award for the best constituent chapter!
This is the first time in the history of AAPA that a specialty has won the award.
Shown are AANPA Treasurer Molly Lenahan and Vice President Karen Burchell,
