On August 21, OHFAMA members from across the state gathered to celebrate KUSCPM's 110th anniversary at the annual KUSCPM Alumni Dinner. But this was more than a birthday celebration.

As part of the evening's festivities, three OHFAMA members were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the profession:

• Hall of Fame Inductee: Leslie Niehaus, DPM
• Alumni Service Award: Myron Bodman, DPM
• Young Physician Professional Achievement Award: Nick Butler, DPM

"These award winners exemplify what it means to serve the podiatric profession. We are honored to have them all as members of OHFAMA," said OHFAMA Executive Director Luci Ridolfo. 

Congratulations to these deserving honorees. Thank you for representing the very best of our profession and for helping shape the future of podiatric medicine in Ohio.
