Congratulations to Jennifer Piel, MD, JD who was recognized with the O’Leary Award for Innovation in Psychiatry at the American Psychiatric Association’s annual meeting, which took place last month in San Francisco.
 
The O’Leary Award – which provides seed money to launch innovative ideas in mental and behavioral health – is named for the late Dr. Paul J. O’Leary, MD whose mantra was “Never worry alone.” Dr. O’Leary served as APA assembly speaker, as a member of the APA Committee on Advocacy and Litigation Funding, as a member of the APA Political Action Committee Board of Directors, and as a member of the APA Delegation to the American Medical Association.
