St. Lawrence County's chief medical officer Community Health Hero Award recipient

Posted

Dr. Andrew Williams, St. Lawrence County’s chief medical officer, was one of three recipients of the 2021 Community Health Hero Award presented by the Fort Drum Regional Health Planning Organization (FDRHPO) and North Country Health Compass Partners.

The Community Health Hero Award – given in honor of National Rural Health Day (Nov. 18) – recognizes North Country residents who have demonstrated outstanding public service and a commitment to improving the health and wellness of their community. Nominations were accepted from the community-at-large, and winners were selected by members of the North Country Health Compass Partners.

Dr. Andrew Williams holds many roles, including Chief Medical Officer for Community Health Center of the North Country, Associate Chief Medical Officer at St. Lawrence Health, President of the St. Lawrence County Board of Health, and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. Dr. Williams spends a great amount of time providing care to many members of the Amish Community in St. Lawrence County, where he provides care, offers professional advice and educates the Amish without offending their way of life. During the pandemic, he provided lifesaving education on physical distancing and mask-wearing to the Amish community.
