Leadership Award given by the Allegheny
County Medical Society (ACMS) at the
organization’s annual gala event.
CORE nominated Dr. Simmons for the
award, which recognizes a physician who
demonstrates exceptional skill in their
clinical care of patients and dedication to
the ideals of the medical profession as a
teacher or profession leader.
Currently, Dr. Simmons is the medical director
