Nine Pennsylvania physicians were honored at the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American College of Physicians (PA-ACP) annual awards dinner on Dec. 6, 2014, according to a Dec. 10 press release issued by PA-ACP.

Among the nine honorees were several Pennsylvania Medical Society (PAMED) members. The Laureate Award winners, the ACP’s highest honor, included Linda Thomas-Hemak, MD, FACP, of Scranton and Darilyn Moyer, MD, FACP, of Lafayette Hill. Dr. Thomas-Hemak is CEO and President of the Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education, a community-based non-profit organization, and recently spoke to PAMED about her organization’s receipt of a federal grant to train medical residents in primary care programs.
