We are so darned proud of Lindsay Farrell, President and CEO of Open Door Family Medical Centers, located in Ossining, NY. Lindsay was recently honored at St. Lawrence University with the Sol Feinstone Award for Humanitarian Service. Farrell, who graduated from St. Lawrence in 1979, was recognized for her commitment to making affordable healthcare “available to all, not just the privileged.”

The Sol Feinstone Award for Humanitarian Service was established in 1978 and is presented to a graduate who, through devotion of his or her resources of personal effort, has demonstrated deep commitment to the advancement of the freedom of people to pursue and attain personal, professional and economic freedom.
