MCMS Members Honored James A. Goodyear MD (center), chairman of the Montgomery County Medical Society, congratulates retired physicians Frank J. Tornetta MD (right) and H. Tom Tamaki MD (left) for their more than 40 years of service as co-chairs of the Montgomery County Medical Society Foundation. The medical society foundation has distributed grants to non profit health-related organizations since the mid 60s. The Foundation was established in 1964 with donations from the Polio Immunization program conducted throughout Montgomery County. The board, who strongly believed those public donations should be returned to the community, established the foundation to distribute grants annually to charitable organizations that service the improvement of the mental and physical well being of Montgomery County residents. Dr. Tornetta, a retired anesthesiologist, has been a member of the medical society for 59 years and served as it president in 1969. Dr. Tamaki, a retired anatomic and clinical pathologist, has been member of the medical society for 60 years and served as president in 1962 Now administered through MCMS's partner, the Pennsylvania Medical Society, the MCMS Foundation remains a vibrant and active service of our County Medical Society.

Eight years after retiring as chief pathologist and medical-staff president at Roxborough Memorial Hospital, he's busier than ever. Last year, he became coroner in Montgomery County, making him the county's first board-certified forensic pathologist to hold the elected post - and the most-credentialed coroner statewide.

Of note, Mark Austerberry remains within the family of organized medicine, accepting the position of Executive Director at nearby Philadelphia County Medical Society (PCMS). We certainly wish Mark well and look forward to working cooperatively with the PCMS in the coming years.
