In recognition of BRC's excellence, and the professional staff who help make that possible, in 2014 BRC's chief medical officer, Dr. Angela Kedzior, was named by Governor Andrew Cuomo as New York State's addiction physician of the year.
Addiction has long been recognized by the medical profession as a disease, yet there are many who scorn those who use drugs, seeing them as weak or lacking in motivation, often pointing to the frequency of their relapses as evidence, and questioning the value of investing in their treatment.
BRC’s caring, effective and innovative work in the field of addiction is so strong that in 2014, BRC’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Angela Kedzior, was named by Governor Andrew Cuomo as New York’s Addiction Physician of the Year.
