NEW! THE DON CANTLEY COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD

The Kentucky Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics has established an annual award to be given to a member of the chapter whose work exemplifies that of Don Cantley, MD, FAAP, a former president of the Chapter, and CATCH coordinator. Dr. Cantley devoted his life to improving the physical and mental health of children in his community of Henderson, KY. He established seven school-based clinics to provide care for children with inadequate health coverage or other barriers to care and he was a pioneer in his approach to caring for children with behavioral disorders. Never tiring, he continued to work until a few days before his death at the age of 82. His commitment to the children and families in his community and his passion for the practice of pediatrics, made him one of the most influential and important physicians to ever practice in the Commonwealth.
