Silver Scope Soiree
Dr. Murrel H. Kaplan was Chief of Internal Medicine at Touro from 1957-1962 and served his patients, and the hospital, with distinction as a member of the medical staff for 50 years. The Kaplan Compassionate Physician Award is given annually to an active physician affiliated with Touro Infirmary who demonstrates the characteristics of compassion and caring for which Dr. Kaplan was so highly esteemed.
