Gordon Ginder, M.D.
Earlier this month, I was proud to see a pair of remarkable physicians honored for their work to advance the care of patients in Virginia, Gordon Ginder, M.D., and Ananda Pandurangi, M.D,, were recognized at VCU’s 33rd Annual Faculty Convocation on Aug. 18, 2015.
Gordon Ginder, M.D., was presented the University Award of Excellence. His selfless dedication to delivering the highest quality care to cancer patients in Virginia, many of whom have complex medical and social needs, has created the successful Massey Cancer Center, serving over 15,000 patients each year, that we are all so proud of. His ability to create an atmosphere where everyone associated with the Center feels that they can contribute to its success is remarkable and inspires faculty, staff, volunteers and donors to reach for the highest level of excellence.
Ananda Pandurangi, M.D.
Ananda Pandurangi, M.D., received the Distinguished Service Award. He has devoted his career of over 30 years at VCU to improving the access to and quality of care for people with mental illness. His research, teaching, and advocacy have had a positive impact on the lives of children and adults in Virginia, the U.S., and beyond, particularly as a leader in our international program with the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research. in Chandigarh, India. His service has enhanced VCU’s positive impact on our global community and advances all four themes of the VCU Quest for Distinction.
