2010 Midwinter Meeting Honorees

Dr. Samuel Low is the 2010 recipient of the Gordon J. Christensen Recognition Lecturer Award.

Established in 1990, the award acknowledges Dr. Christensen’s many out­standing contributions to the dental profession and the Midwinter Meeting. Dr. Low received the Christensen Award during the Opening Session Thursday, Feb. 25, for his many contributions to the profession.

The George Cushing Award recognizes those who raise public awareness about the importance of oral health. The award is bestowed by the Communications Committee of the Chicago Dental Society.

The 2010 Cushing Award winner is Illinois General Assemblywoman Cynthia Soto, the Democratic representative for the fourth district. A longtime advocate of dentistry, Rep. Soto spearheaded the effort to expand Erie Family Health Center to include a dental clinic, which opened in 2007 and now serves more than 8,000 people each year. Rep. Soto has also been fundamental in obtaining funding for dental services throughout the state. She was awarded Erie's first Golden Toothbrush Award in winter 2009 for her commitment to improving oral health in Illinois.

Past recipients include former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher; Dr. Burton Edelstein, founder of the Children’s Dental Health Project; Dr. Linda Niessen and Ms. Sara Ivey for their television program “Dental Health Minute,“ and Dr. Steven Perlman, founder of the Special Smiles program at Special Olympics.
