Nominations wanted for
New York State Family Doctor of the Year

The New York State Academy of Family Physicians is seeking nominations for the 2003 Family Doctor of the Year.

Each year the New York State Academy of Family Physicians awards one family physician the title of Family Doctor of the Year for New York State on the basis of outstanding service to patients and community, and devotion to Family Practice. The only other requirement is that nominees be members in good standing of the New York State Academy of Family Physicians. Individuals are encouraged to send letters of nomination to the New York State Academy describing why their family physician should receive the Family Physician of the Year Award. This allows patients to recognize the excellent services provided to them by their family physician.

The Family Doctor of the Year for New York will also be nominated for the American Academy of Family Physicians' Family Doctor of the Year Award.

The physician for New York state will be honored during the NYSAFP Annual Meeting in 2003.

Nomination letters should be sent by November 1, 2002 to: New York State Academy of Family Physicians, 260 Osborne Road, Loudonville, New York 12211.
