A Well Deserved Honor

On our weekly new-e-mail today, I heard good news about a friend of ours:

Peter Metz, MD and the Communities of Care Project have been chosen to receive the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Rieger Service Award this year.  This award recognizes innovative programs that address prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of mental illnesses in children and adolescents, and serve as model programs to the community.  They will receive the award at the annual meeting in October, 2009.  Guess where the AACAP is meeting this year?  Honolulu, HI!  What a perfect year to receive this award.      Congratulations, Peter; well deserved.

I can only echo this sentiment;  well done, Peter.
