From Syracuse, N.Y., comes the news that JoelPotash has been named the 1994 recipient of the Sister Patricia Ann Award for Excellence at the St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center. Commenting upon this honor, Joel stated, "The Sister Patricia Ann Award was particularly important to me because I've been a member of the St. Joseph's family for so long, over 30 years since I started my residency. I sort of grew up with Sister Patricia Ann when she was administrator. I really believe in the philosophy of St. Joseph's Hospital, which is really to care for all people, regardless of their economics or belief system." It is also worth noting that Joel is the physician for the Onondaga Nation.

In a review of this ad, The New York Times commented, "Mr. McCall establishes himself as a selfmade man with strong values." With the many financial pressures facing the state of New York, it appears the citizens of that state have elected the right man as comptroller.
