CT-AAP Congratulates the Following Award Winners
Hartford County Medical Association Awards
Dr. Robert Zavoski was recently awarded a
Community Service Award from the Hartford County
Medical Association. Dr. Zavoski is the Director of
Primary Care at CT Children's Medical Center. He is
the Chair of the CT-AAP Government Liasion
Committee, and has been instrumental in passing
important legislation to help keep children's lives safe
and healthy. He was presented the award at the
Association's 207th Annual Meeting, April 15, 1999.
The commitment and service Dr. Zavoski gives to the
community is invaluable. The Hartford County
Medical Association is proud to have him among its
members.
Dr. Mark Greenstein was also awarded at this
event. Dr. Greenstein has played a critical role in the
Salvation Army Marshall House Medical Clinic for at
least five of the clinic's seven years. As one of the first
volunteer physicians at the Clinic, Mark has been a
perennial favorite of students and patients. Not only is
he an excellent pediatrician, his ability to teach medical
students in this setting is unsurpassed. He has volunteered
as a physician preceptor each semester, often
serving as a last-minute replacement for other physicians.
For the last year, Dr. Greenstein has volunteered
to serve as the Clinic's advisor, helping to recruit new
volunteer physicians, hosting monthly manager meetings,
and providing valuable advice and support.
Furthermore, he has always been a generous donor of
supplies and medicines to the Clinic when they were
needed most. Without physicians like Dr. Greenstein,
UCONN medical students would be unable to run the
clinic and serve this needy population.
