Slocum Doctors and Staff Recognized as Angels in Adoption
Each year, the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute encourages members of Congress to honor an individual, couple, or organization from their district with this award. Recipients are chosen for their extraordinary contribution on behalf of children in need of homes.
Congressman DeFazio presented the 2012 award to Dr. Thomas Wuest, president of Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, as well as Dr. Kenneth P. Butters, Dr. Michael C. Koester, and Dr. Matthew S. Shapiro and Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine’s property manager Patric Campbell in recognition of the practice’s donation of X-ray equipment to the upcoming Shinshicho Mother and Child Health Center in Ethiopia.
“The women’s clinic where this equipment will be used will provide a tremendous service to an area in Ethiopia in great need of quality healthcare,” Dr. Wuest says. “We are truly honored to be able to provide the clinic with this essential radiographic equipment.”
Congressman DeFazio applauded the Slocum Center doctors and staff, saying “I just want to thank you for your tremendous efforts in terms of bringing the medical equipment to Ethiopia and what that’s going to mean for so many kids.”
