Don Bloch award acceptance comments.

Abstract

In the words of the author and recipient: "It is indeed a career-topping honor to receive the Don Bloch Award from Collaborative Family Healthcare Association (CFHA). I want to thank the CFHA Board for its generosity in bestowing this honor, and I am, indeed, humbled to be accepted into the prestigious company of prior Don Bloch Award recipients. I did not have a role in inventing collaborative care, like so many of the preceding awardees. But as a practicing family physician and a leader in academic family medicine and primary care, I recognized the need for this movement in my field of practice and have worked hard to make it a reality at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) over the past 20 years."
