The award, supported by the Dyson Foundation, celebrates the outstanding efforts of three pediatricians-in-training nationally each year as they work in their communities to improve the health of children. The Financial Fitness Clinic was selected earlier this year for a $10,000 grant by the SFMS Community Service Foundation and the San-Cop Foundation.
