Dr. Recob gets New Physician Award

Dr. Samuel Recob recently received the prestigious Charles F. Ashby New Family Physician Scholarship and Award.

This scholarship is given in Dr. Ashby's memory on a yearly basis to two new Nebraska Academy of Family Physicians practicing in Nebraska. The intent of the scholarship is to assist new family physicians as they begin their Family Medicine practice in Nebraska.

Dr. Patrick Hotovy, National Academy Family Physicians Foundation President, presented Dr. Recob with the award at the NAFP banquet on March 30. The event was held in conjunction with the Academy's 64th Annual Meeting and Scientific Assembly in Lincoln at the Holiday Inn Downtown. Dr. Recob's wife, Jessica, attended the banquet with Dr. Recob.

Dr. Recob joined the American Academy of Family Physicians/Nebraska Academy of Family Physicians in July of 2011.

Today, family physicians provide more care for America's underserved and rural populations the any other medical specialty. Family medicine's cornerstone is an ongoing, personal patient-physician relationship focused on integrated care.

Dr. Recob practices at Laurel and Wayne Mercy Medical Clinics and has been with the group since January 2010.

Dr. Aaron Lanik of Hebron also received the award.
