New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation recognizes 29 outstanding physicians for National Doctors’ Day 2010 on Wednesday, March 24. These exceptional men and women represent the several thousand dedicated and talented physicians in our organization who are helping us to make HHC one of the most safe, effective, efficient, and patient-centered health care systems in the country.
HHC President’s Award
Jahon Soltani, MD, Coney Island Hospital. Dr. Soltani is a 41-year veteran of Coney Island Hospital. A Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians, he has been a brilliant teacher and leader for the hundreds of resident and new attending doctors who have had the opportunity to work under him. He is also a “doctor’s doctor” — a personal doctor and advisor for many of our employees — a testimony to the respect he commands at Coney Island Hospital and throughout the HHC system.
