Andrew Saxon recognized for service

Department News | February 25, 2021


Congratulations to Andrew Saxon, MD, for receiving the 2021 Nyswander/Dole “Marie” Award. Named after Vincent Dole, MD, and Marie Nyswander, MD, who founded methadone maintenance treatment in the 1960s, the award is the preeminent recognition in the field of opioid use disorder treatment. Recipients are nominated by their peers, with a committee then selecting just a handful of national honorees. An awards program to honor all six will be held virtually on April 13, 2021 as part of the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence annual conference.
