American College of Physicians Award

I was recently awarded by the ACP organization, which I am sharing with Deerfield. I am sure my path to becoming a physician started at Deerfield in Mrs. Helen Boyden’s Chemistry class which turned me on to learning and science, and I went on to major in Chemistry in college.

Dear Dr. Mills: 

As Chair of the Awards Committee of the American College of Physicians, it is gives me great pleasure to officially inform you that, based on the recommendation of the Committee, the Board of Regents has voted to select you as our 2022-2023 recipient of the Ralph O. Claypoole Sr. Memorial Award for Devotion of a Career in Internal Medicine to the Care of Patients.
