PA Podiatrist Announces DCMH Grants for Food Banks
Physicians formerly working at Delaware County Memorial Hospital (DCMH) announced that they have provided grants to support ChesPenn Health Services in Upper Darby and the Share Food Program’s centralized food bank in Delaware County. Each $10,000 grant is made possible from funds the physicians established with their charitable contributions, now held at The Foundation for Delaware County.

According to Rhonda Cornell, DPM, a podiatrist in Havertown, “We are honored to contribute to these high-quality non-profits serving so many of our patients and former patients in the DCMH catchment area. We know that both organizations and our community are strained now and will benefit from our charitable support. Even with the devastating impact the closure of our hospital had on all of us, we want to show our patients in the community that we are still here and care about them.”

RE: The Passing of Alan Shaw, DPM
I would like to share some comments regarding the passing of Alan Shaw. He and Doug Elleby gave me, along with many others, my first job in the Atlanta metropolitan area. He was involved in the leadership of the American College of Foot and Ankle surgeons, and his relationship with Gary Kaplan, who was involved in my residency program led me to this opportunity. Working in this practice taught me how to practice podiatry and manage the business of running a podiatry practice. This gave me the confidence and skills needed when it came time for me to run my solo practice.
Alan was instrumental in getting privileges in hospitals in Georgia by suing the local hospital that was denying him staff privileges. The change in the law from this suit benefited every podiatrist in the state from his actions. He was an innovator in managed care when HMOs or capitated plans became prevalent, by creating networks of doctors to participate in, and managing these plans. He moved to Montana when he retired to pursue his passion of skiing and fishing. He passed while doing one of the things he most loved doing. I am forever grateful for the opportunity he provided to me and the countless other doctors in Georgia.
