A Night to Remember: The 2025 PAMED Awards

Last week in Hershey, PAMED had the pleasure of celebrating the remarkable achievements of the 2025 Top Physicians Under 40, Community Voluntary Service Awardee Ada Emuwa, MD, MPH, and Distinguished Service Awardee Richard Wender, MD. It was an honor to celebrate this group of physicians recognized for their exceptional dedication to patient care, leadership, and innovation in medicine.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening. Your support helped make the celebration truly memorable, and it was an honor to share the evening with you and your families. We’re excited to continue celebrating more outstanding awardees later this month in Latrobe.
