“Our frontline medical workers deserve all the recognition in the world and I would like to specifically call attention to the work that Dr. Delmont has done to expand medical services to communities that have traditionally been underserved,” says Senator Todd Kaminsky. “It was my honor to nominate Dr. Delmont for this important distinction as her work is crucial, especially during a pandemic. Thank you, Dr. Delmont, I look forward to seeing what you accomplish in the future.”
“It is an honor to be nominated for this distinction and I would like to thank Senator Kaminsky for acknowledging the work that Delmont Medical Care and SOMOS Community Care is doing to reach underserved communities that have struggled to get access to medical services,” says Dr. Jacqueline Delmont.
