I am delighted to share the news that you have been selected to receive a 2020 NAMI Exemplary Psychiatrist Award, nominated by Kim Jones, Executive Director of NAMI Georgia on behalf of NAMI.

Winners have also provided comprehensive treatment to people with mental illness including medical, rehabilitative and social needs or have taken the time to educate people whose lives are affected by mental illness . . . On behalf of NAMI, I congratulate you on this award and thank you for your dedication to improving the lives of people living with mental illness.
