Twenty-nineteen has been a year full of accolades for Robert W. Amler, M.D., M.B.A., dean of the School of Health Sciences and Practice and vice president for government affairs, who was named to City & State New York's Westchester Power 100 list, honoring the 100 most influential people in government, business, health care, education and nonprofits. Dr. Amler was recognized at a reception hosted by City and State on October 17, at the Whitby Castle in Rye, New York.

Dr. Robert Amler and his wife, Sherlita Amler, M.D., M.S., who is Westchester County’s Commissioner of Public Health and clinical associate professor of pediatrics, adjunct professor of public health and senior fellow for Center for Disaster Medicine, were named Westchester’s Power Couple during the sixth annual Doctors of Distinction award ceremony hosted by Westfair Communications Inc., on September 24 at the Surf Club on the Sound in New Rochelle, New York. The Doctors of Distinction awards honor those who have had an influential impact on health care or medical science in Westchester County. “We all work together, whether as clinicians taking good care of individual patients or public health physicians and other public health professionals taking care of communities and preventing disease, hopefully before it occurs,” said Dr. Robert Amler.
