The Office for Diversity and Community Partnership has honored six HMS faculty members with a 2007 Dean’s Community Service Award, presented at a breakfast ceremony on Oct. 25. The awards were initiated in 1999 by then dean Joseph Martin to honor HMS faculty, trainees, students, and staff for extraordinary contributions to community service and to encourage volunteering. The 2007 Lifetime Achievement winner is Lachlan Forrow, HMS associate professor of medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, for his work with the Albert Schweitzer Fellowship. Rhonda Fogle, an HMS clinical instructor in pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Boston, received the faculty award for her service with the Association for Retarded Citizens of Eastern Middlesex. And Bertram Zarins, the Augustus Thorndike clinical professor of orthopedic surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, received the faculty award for volunteering with the Latvian Medical Foundation. Ryan Thompson, a clinical fellow in medicine at MGH, won the trainee award for his work with the MGH Department of Internal Medicine. Elizabeth Cote, Class of 2008, received the student award for her time dedicated to the Kalaiselvi Karunalaya Social Welfare Society. The winner of the staff award is Dave Rizzotto, formerly an HMS media technician specialist, for volunteering with Newbury Film Series Inc.
