Colombias Minister of Social Protection, Diego Palacio Betancourt, presented Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMCs Heart Center Chief of the Division of Cardiac Intensive Care Ricardo A. Muoz, MD, FAAP, FCCM, with the prestigious Jorge Bejarano Civic Cross Medal.

During a visit to the Fundacion Valle de Lili last month, Dr. Muoz was given the award, which is signed by Colombian President Alvaro Uribe Velez, in honor of his outstanding achievements and contributions to the medical field and pediatric cardiac intensive care, acknowledging his contribution to promoting health care in Colombia.

The award is given to honor people who make exceptional contributions in the field of medicine, public health and public welfare.

Dr. Bejarano was a member of several respected medical societies, including The Colombian National Academy of Medicine, The Venezuelan Academy of Pediatrics, The New York Academy of Medicine, and the North American Academy of Medicine.

Dr. Muoz, who also is the director of the Cardiac Recovery Program and associate professor of Pediatrics, Critical Care Medicine and Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, has been instrumental in working with doctors in Colombia to expand their pediatric capabilities.
