Dr. Guerrero said “this is the fruit of our labor. I realized that my success is not the product of just my own talents but the result of many people helping me over the years, my family, my colleagues and my countrymen. I just hope that my fellow kababayans here abroad will be encouraged to look back to where they came from and share their blessings and successes, especially with the less fortunate ones,” Guerrero said.
The leadership award, accorded to medical practitioners ‘who exemplify the highest values of altruism, compassion, leadership and dedication to patient care,’ is given yearly by the American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation Excellence in Medicine Awards in partnership with the Pfizer Medical Humanities Initiative. The annual awards were given after the AMA National Advocacy Conference which was attended by renowned medical practitioners worldwide. Guerrero was cited for his display of strong non-clinical leadership skills in advocacy, community service, public health and education. He has also been a recipient of the 2006 Medicine Award from the Chicago-Midwest Filipino-American Community, a Faculty-Mentorship Award on student leadership from the University of Illinois’ College of Medicine in April 2007 and the Filam Image magazine’s 20 Outstanding Filipino Awards.
