Finding
Ethnic Physician Leadership Award Given
November 19th , 2005 became a day of special significance as CMA Foundation
awarded its first Ethnic Physician Leadership Award. A stellar list of 11
ethnic physician nominees was honored at a dinner held that evening at the
Marriott San Mateo. The dinner coincided with the fourth annual Ethnic
Physician’s Leadership Summit. At the center of attention was Rolland C. Lowe, MD,
the first recipient of the Ethnic Physician Leadership Award. Dr. Lowe was selected
for a number of impressive reasons: his 43 years of service as a physician in San
Francisco’s China Town; for his leadership in organized medicine as the first Asian
Board Chair and President of the CMA; and for his willingness to serve as a teacher
and role model to ethnic physicians. He is also a philanthropist having served on the
boards of the San Francisco Foundation and the past Chair of the CMA Foundation; while
at the same time, starting his own family foundation as his way of “replenishing the
well”. Finally, he was honored for his boldness and willingness to act as a trailblazer,
initiating the creation of the Ethnic Medical Organization Section of the CMA and the
newly formed and exciting Network of Ethnic Physician Organizations – whose goal is
to advance ethnic physicians as leaders in the elimination of healthcare disparities
improving health for all Californians. As the award recipient, Dr. Lowe received a
plaque and honorarium of $1,000. The ethnic physician organization or similar organization
of his choice will also receive a grant of $1,000 to carry out its community health
and/or patient advocacy projects. This award was made possible by a generous donation
from the Pfizer Medical Humanities Initiative.
