Harbor Pediatrics congratulates our very own, Dr. Paul Fu Jr, for receiving this year’s Silver Knight Award.
The Silver Knight is the highest award NMA Leadership Development Organization chapters can bestow upon an outstanding executive. With the requisite approvals, it can be presented only once a year by each chapter. The nominee must be an individual whose outstanding leadership is well known to the members of the organization and whose example has inspired them. The nominee must be a person who has demonstrated the highest qualities of leadership in business or government as well as being involved in community activities. Further, the nominee should be a person who regularly applies the principles of NMA’s Code of Ethics and contributes to a better understanding of NMA.
In addition to being the Chief Medical Informatics Officer, Dr. Paul Fu Jr. is also the Division Chief of Pediatric Hospital Medicine. Dr. Paul Fu Jr. is responsible for developing and implementing the Electronic Health Record, ORCHID, at all LA County Hospitals.
Last year’s recipient, LABioMed CEO David Meyer, awarded Dr. Fu Jr. with the award at a ceremony held today. Also present were Dr. Fu Jr’s parents, Interim Chair of Pediatrics Dr. Lynne Smith, and other previous Silver Knight Award recipients.
Congratulation Dr. Paul Fu Jr.
