Marvin Stancil, M.D., associate professor, obstetrics/gynecology, will receive the Pete and Weesie Hollis Community Service Award from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). The award was established to recognize ACOG Fellows for their outstanding and dedicated service in caring for the underserved community. The award provides a $1,000 honorarium and free registration to attend ACOG’s 2015 Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting in San Francisco on May 2-6. Dr. Stancil will be recognized during the Awards Ceremony on May 3.
