AMMP bestows honor

At a luncheon held Oct. 25, the Association of Multicultural Members of Partners (AMMP) gave its Award for Excellence in Diversity to Ernesto Gonzalez, MD, of MGH Dermatology and the MGH Multicultural Affairs Office, in recognition of his lifetime achievements as an advocate for increasing the participation of Latino professionals in health care and medical education. Approximately 70 MGHers gathered to hear Gonzalez offer a keynote address "Family, Unity and Diversity within the Latino Communities." The AMMP luncheon, which featured Latino fare, was the final event in a series of activities sponsored by several groups to mark Latino Heritage Month at the MGH.
