Jeffrey Lawson Award for Advocacy in Children's Pain Relief

Congratulations to Patrick McGrath on receiving the 2009 American Pain Society's Jeffery Lawson Award. The Jeffrey Lawson Award was established in 1996 in memory of Jeffrey Lawson, whose mother, Jill, brought to the attention of professional organizations the practice of performing surgery and other procedures on children without the benefit of analgesia. The award recognizes advocacy efforts to improve management of pain in children.
