Congratulations to Dr. Wayne A. Gordon, Professor of Neuropsychology at New York City's Mt. Sinai Hospital School of Medicine, this year's recipient of the Robert L. Moody Prize for Distinguished Initiatives in Brain Injury Research and Rehabilitation.  

I have had the privlege of knowing and working with Dr. Gordon for many years and can think of no better recipient for this award. The award recognizes Dr. Gordon's brain injury research, clinical care and his advocacy for people who are severely injured.  Dr. Gordon has demonstrated unflagging commitment to improving the lives of individuals with brain injury and supporting their family members in the process.
