Martin Memorial recently celebrated National Doctors’ Day by honoring physicians from the health system’s medical staff for their dedication and service.
A total of 158 people attended the event, held at Piper’s Landing Yacht and Country Club in Palm City. That included members of Martin Memorial’s medical staff, board of directors and executive team.
Michael C. Romano, MD, a hospitalist, was named 2008 Physician of the Year, as voted upon by the Martin Memorial Medical Staff. Steven A. Lofton, MD., a pathologist, was named 2008 Physician Citizen of the Year as voted upon by Martin Memorial associates. Paul A. Gaeta, MD, an internist, was named the 2008 24/7 award winner as voted upon by the associates in Martin Memorial’s two emergency departments.
Five physicians were saluted for their 25 years of active service on staff at Martin Memorial: Lillian I. Avner, DO, an emergency medicine physician; Allan J. Birnbaum, DO, an internist; Alan S. Collin, MD, an oncologist; David B. Mordes, MD, an endocrinologist; and Mark L. Perlman, MD, an anesthesiologist.
The Martin Memorial Medical Staff includes approximately 350 physicians in numerous specialties, ranging from primary care to oncology, cardiology to pulmonology, neurology to podiatry. They not only help provide care when people get sick, but they are active in preventative care as well. Some are involved in clinical trials designed to help provide new treatments and preventative methods.
Things have changed significantly since Martin Memorial opened its doors 70 years ago with just three physicians on staff. But one thing that hasn't changed is the passion, compassion and dedication shown by the physicians who provide care at Martin Memorial.
So from all of us at Martin Memorial – thank you!
