D.P.T. Students Race to Help Achilles International
It started months ago with Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) students toting the first round of tempting baked goods across campus and it ended on October 9 with a post-race strawberry smoothie. And along the way, the 18th Annual Race for Rehab raised nearly $7,000 for Achilles International, a not-for-profit organization which provides a community of support to athletes with disabilities. This year's contribution brings NYMC's lifetime donation to Achilles to more than $123,000 since the race's inception in 1999. View the Race for Rehab photo gallery

The panel included:
D. Douglas Miller, M.D., C.M., M.B.A., left, dean, School of Medicine; (moderator)
Lori Weir Solomon, M.D. '99, M.P.H. '09, right, associate dean of community health affairs, assistant professor of family community medicine, and director of family medicine clerkship;
Lee Green, M.D., M.P.H., second from left, chairman and professor, the Department of Family Medicine, University of Alberta; Deborah Viola, M.B.A., Ph.D., vice president, data management and analytics, WMC Health PPS;

According to Dr. Solomon, who organized the conference, the dialogue was motivating: "We had a wealth of subject matter expertise, and the collaboration and energy produced some important and actionable outtakes. While we agreed that health care reform will require the complete transformation of health care delivery systems and will take place over many years, we did recognize that successful medical home practices have already transformed patient care into a team process where each team member is empowered to identify issues and create solutions."
