We’re continuing our 2026 Distinguished Awards spotlight! 🏆

Next up: The Children's Institute, recipient of the 2026 ACMS Benjamin Rush Community Award.

For more than 124 years, The Children’s Institute has been supporting children and families throughout the Pittsburgh region and beyond.

What began in 1902 as an organization serving one child has grown into a nationally recognized resource for children and youth with complex and unique needs. Today, The Children’s Institute provides a wide range of services, including education, therapeutic and behavioral health programs, early intervention, autism services, and family support.

Through its mission to “Heal. Teach. Empower. Amaze.,” The Children’s Institute works alongside children, youth, and families to improve quality of life and help every child reach their full potential.

The organization’s commitment to inclusion, opportunity, and community health reflects the spirit of the Benjamin Rush Community Award and the lasting impact of those who work to make their communities healthier and stronger.

We’re proud to celebrate The Children’s Institute and the difference they continue to make for children and families throughout our region. 💚

is back for month two! 🙌🏻

This October, we’re teaming up with Ruckus Café and Ruckus Cafe to give our community another way to show a little love to the doctors who make a difference.

Stopping in for a coffee or sweet treat? Tag your favorite doc and give them a shout-out! Ruckus will display your messages throughout the month, giving your favorite physician a little extra recognition.

Plus, one randomly selected participant will win a $30 gift card to the Ruckus location of their choice. So stop in, grab some coffee and join us in spreading a little love. ☕️💙

We’re kicking off our 2026 Distinguished Awards spotlight! 🏆

First up: Thomas P. Campbell, MD, MPH, FACEP, recipient of the 2026 ACMS Spirit of Service Award.

For more than 35 years, Dr. Campbell has dedicated his career to caring for patients, supporting physicians, and strengthening Pittsburgh’s healthcare community.

As Chief Wellness Officer for Allegheny Health Network, Dr. Campbell has been a strong advocate for removing barriers that can keep physicians from seeking mental health care. He helped lead changes to AHN’s credentialing process in 2023, removing unnecessary questions about past mental health treatment that could make physicians fear that seeking help might jeopardize their careers. Pennsylvania later made similar changes to its state physician licensing process.

That same commitment helped shape the ACMS Physician Wellness Program. Dr. Campbell was there from the beginning, helping our team create a resource where physicians throughout Allegheny County can access confidential, independent mental health support without employer involvement.

From emergency medicine to leadership to advocacy for a healthier medical profession, Dr. Campbell has continually found ways to serve the people around him - and to make it safer for physicians to seek support when they need it.

Congratulations, Dr. Campbell, on this well-deserved honor! 👏🏻

We’ll be celebrating our 2026 Distinguished Award recipients throughout October and November, so stay tuned for more!

PHYSICIAN VOICES MATTER IN HARRISBURG!! 🏛️💙

On September 29, ACMS members took their voices to Harrisburg for the Pennsylvania Medical Society Legislative Advocacy Day, joining physicians from across the Commonwealth to connect directly with state lawmakers and advocate for the issues shaping medicine and health care in Pennsylvania.

Our members tackled some of the biggest issues facing health care today, including medical liability reform and venue, measles and public health, and the growing role of private equity, bringing the physician perspective straight to the policy conversation.

As advocacy becomes an even bigger part of ACMS’s strategic plan, opportunities like Advocacy Day are an important part of putting that commitment into action. It’s not just about talking legislation. It’s about building relationships, sharing real experiences from the front lines of medicine, and making sure the voices of physicians in Allegheny County are part of the conversation.

Shoutout to our ACMS members who made the trip to Harrisburg. And thank you to PAMED for bringing physicians from across Pennsylvania together for a day of connection, advocacy, and engagement. 🫶🏻
