Valley Physicians Recognized for Life-Saving Protocols, Programs By Farin Jacobsen
Three local legendary physicians accepted accolades during the Fresno Madera Medical Society Installation and Awards Gala on Friday, Nov. 19, surrounded by their peers, colleagues and mentors. One created today’s emergency medical services system in Fresno County when there wasn’t one, another created a pediatric oncology program at Valley Children’s when there wasn’t one, and the third led local healthcare systems in responding to an unprecedented global pandemic. Dr. Gene Kallsen at UCSF Fresno and Dr. Vonda Crouse at Valley Children’s received lifetime achievement awards and Dr. Rais Vohra was recognized with a special projects award for his COVID-19 response.
