Dr. Sylvia Muzquiz-Drummond, medical director of Mental Health Services, has been named 2008 Exemplary Psychiatrist Award by NAMI Metropolitan Houston. To mark the milestone, national NAMI held a breakfast in her honor in Washington, DC during this year's American Psychiatric Association's annual meeting. Dr. Muzquiz-Drummond supervises a staff of 35 doctors, and her unit treats more than 20,000 adults andd 8,000 children and adolescents at four treatment centers over the course of a year. Her nomination read, in part: "Her patients experience her as a warm and caring person whose bright smile and simple way of communicating with them gives them hope, helpful instructions, and insights into managing their illness."
