HOUSTON (May 7, 2007)
– Dr.
Ralph Feigin, J.S. Abercrombie professor and chair of pediatrics
at Baylor College of Medicine and physician-in-chief of Texas
Children's Hospital, was awarded the prestigious John Howland Medal
on Sunday. The award is the top honor bestowed by the American
pediatric community for lifetime contributions to advance the field
of pediatrics.
Given by the American
Pediatric Society, the award was presented to Feigin at the
annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies in Toronto,
Canada.
The award has been
given annually since 1952 to honor those who have made contributions
that have impacted childhood diseases, advanced education and
improved the care of children worldwide.
“This award is an
equally important, positive reflection on the superb department of
pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s
Hospital,” Feigin said. “I am honored to be included among the
former recipients such as Albert Sabin, and many other
internationally recognized leaders.”
The award is
named after John Howland who helped form the first modern model for
academic pediatric departments in the United States.
