Celebrating Excellence in Medicine
Join us for an elegant evening celebrating the physicians, current and future healthcare professionals, and organizations whose dedication transforms lives and strengthens communities throughout Western New York. This distinguished gathering unites medical leaders from across our region with colleagues from Albany and Washington to honor healthcare excellence and build lasting professional connections.
Every day, Erie County physicians provide compassionate care to over 10,000 patients while simultaneously advancing medical knowledge through research, shaping the next generation through teaching and mentoring, and advocating tirelessly for healthier communities. As dedicated guardians of public health and wellness, the members of Medical Society of the County of Erie serve as the cornerstone of healthcare excellence, working to support physician medicine and ensure every patient receives the exceptional care they deserve.
This is more than a celebration—it's a recognition of the profound impact our medical community makes on countless lives and a recognition that quality healthcare is at the heart of a thriving community.
Exceptional Leadership & Passing of the Gavel
We celebrate the transformational presidency of Dr. Iris Danziger, whose visionary leadership elevated MSCE to new heights. Under her guidance, Dr. Danziger brought medical society operations to an entirely new level of professionalism, launched a groundbreaking "Save a Life Campaign," re-established MSCE's powerful legislative presence, and created meaningful pathways for early career professionals to engage, network and grow. Most importantly, she reminded us daily of the critical importance of all Western New York physicians coming together as one unified voice to address today's healthcare challenges. Her legacy of innovation, advocacy, and unity will continue to inspire MSCE's mission for years to come.
We're honored to install Michael Terranova, MD, FAAP, as our next President of the Medical Society of the County of Erie. Dr. Terranova, a practicing pediatrician, brings extensive leadership experience through his active involvement with:
-
Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo Advisory Committee
-
Executive Committee of the Buffalo Pediatric Society
-
New York Chapter 1 of the American Academy of Pediatrics
His visionary leadership promises continued dedication to advancing quality healthcare and community wellness throughout our region.
