Testimonials

Dr. Keck and his colleague, David Kettlewell, and wife Ardith have produced an excellent book that describes a series of principles and lessons learned from their experience of collaboration. Anyone who takes on this often unappreciated task will benefit by the knowledge that is shared in the book.

F. Douglas Scutchfield, MD

This book is a timely and practical collection of the best thinking on starting and maintaining successful partnerships. It is essential reading for people who want to enhance their capacity to engage and maintain effective collaborations.

Georges C. Benjamin, MD, MACP, FNAPA, FACEP (E), Hon FRSPH, Hon FFPH

This book is an important addition to the literature in a skill area that is critically important to public health, but not easily taught, quantified or assessed. These lessons from the field will help students and professionals alike understand the building blocks of successful collaboration.

Laura Rasar King, MPH, MCHES

Collaboration is essential for most work done in public health, and yet very little has been written on the subject. This engaging book provides expert guidance for public health workers on how to collaborate effectively…

NEOMED PROFESSOR EMERITUS RECEIVES PRESIDENTIAL CITATION
 
C. William Keck, M.D., M.P.H., professor emeritus of the Department of Family and Community Medicine, was awarded the American Public Health Association’s Presidential Citation for 2017 at the organization’s annual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, in November.
 
A letter to Dr. Keck said, “APHA President Tom Quade is recognizing you for your life long dedication to the pursuit of population health within a social justice and health equity framework. You have educated medical and public health students and mentored practitioners such that they might successfully carry on that pursuit. Your continued commitment to linking academic and practice experiences has caused them to be increasingly complementary and mutually enriched. In addition to countless individuals whose contributions to the field you have shaped, you have positively influenced the space in which public health is learned, considered, and practiced.”
 
Previous recipients of the Presidential Citation include Black Lives Matter (2016), First Lady Michelle Obama (2013), President Barack Obama (2012), Doctors without Borders (2004) and Nelson Mandela (1997). The APHA website notes that the award ‘’is not presented every year, but only on occasions of unusual merit.’’
 
Dr. Keck holds an M.D. from the Case Western Reserve University and a Master of Public Health degree from the Harvard School of Public Health. He taught NEOMED’s first community medicine courses while serving as Director of Public Health for the City of Akron (Ohio). With his wife, Ardith, and David Kettlewell, Dr. Keck recently completed the book Working Together…On Collaboration.
