The Medical Society of the County of Kings (MSCK), Brooklyn’s oldest scientific organization, honored Dr. Jagdish K. Gupta with the President Gold Medal. He was inducted into its prestigious President Club while celebrating its 174th President’s Dinner at Dyker Beach Golf Club. This was the culmination of a grand finale to its Bicentennial Year Celebrations.
MSCK President Dr. Madhu Gudavalli introduced the guest of honor, Dr. Gupta, President of the Association of Indians in America – (AIA-NY chapter), and invited 14 past presidents of the society, along with Dr. Parag Mehta, past President of the Medical Society of the State, to honor Dr Gupta with the 174th President Gold Medal.
Dr. Robert Frankle, Chairman of the Board of the Medical Society of the State of New York, presented the plaque award to Dr. Gupta. Proclamations at the state Assembly and City Council had declared May 25, 2022, as the “Bicentennial Celebration Day for MSCK.”
While accepting the honor with humility, Dr. Gupta reflected on the highlights of the MSCK’s Bicentennial Year Celebrations. This celebration started last year marking 200 years of its advocacy, dedication, and patient care.
Chaired by Dr. Neeraj Acharya, Past President and Treasurer of MSCK, the event unfolded under the guidance of Dr. Sherman Dunn, Chairman of the MSCK Board, and Dr. Gudavalli, the current President. The keynote address by Dr. Sanjiv Chopra on “Reflections on Lasting Happiness and Living with Purpose” was very well received by the audience.
A cake-cutting ceremony post dinner was arranged where the past Presidents of the MSCK and other prominent guests joined Dr. Jagdish Gupta to celebrate his induction into the Board of Trustees of the Academy of Medicine of Brooklyn.
