Nebraska chapter of the American Association of Pediatrics honors faculty
The Nebraska chapter of the American Association of Pediatrics (NE AAP) honored multiple members of the department of pediatrics at the Virtual Fall Conference in October.
Alice Sato, MD, PhD, assistant professor, division of pediatric infectious diseases; Angela Kratochvil-Stava, MD, assistant professor, division of general pediatrics; and Sharon Stoolman, MD, associate professor, division of hospital medicine, won the award for Outstanding Child Advocate of the Year. They were recognized for their tireless efforts throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to advocate for the health of Nebraska's children and adolescents.
Jean Ballweg, MD, associate professor, division of pediatric cardiology, received the Friend of Child Health Award, an honor given to non-members of NE APP who provided outstanding advocacy for the health of Nebraska's children and adolescents. The award recognized her efforts presenting and fielding questions at community and school district meetings to promote masking.
NE-AAP President-elect Sheilah Snyder, MD, associate professor in the division of hospital medicine, said: "This year has been hard on providers and the families we take care of. My energy is renewed by seeing all of the hard work pediatric physicians in Nebraska are doing to combat COVID and keep our kids safe. The AAP is happy to support these providers and continues to advocate for them and their patients."
