Excellence in Care Award for Shanna Chen, OMD, LAC

VDF is pleased to announce that Shanna Chen, OMD, LAC, has been awarded the Foundation's Excellence in Care Award. Nominated by Nancy Spillman of Canoga Park, CA for the exceptional care she provided to her, Ms. Spillman stated in her nomination, "Dr. Chen not only dispenses pain relief but the wisdom of nearly a quarter of a century (both in the US and in China) of practicing her profession." VDF congratulates Dr. Chen for making a difference in the care of patients and for receiving this honor.

If you know of a health-care provider or medical professional who has shown you or your family special kindness or care who deserves recognition, nominate him or her for VDF's Excellence in Care Award! Tell us who you would like to nominate and why you feel he or she deserves recognition. We will acknowledge these individuals in a future issue of Keeping in Circulation and on the VDF Web site. Just drop us a note with a tax-deductible donation of $50 or more to VDF Excellence in Care, 1075 S. Yukon Street, Ste 320, Lakewood, CO 80226.
