A Rising Star, On a Mission
Migrant Clinicians Network (MCN) is proud to announce the selection of Emanie Dorival, CRNP, as the third recipient of the annual Kugel-Zuroweste Health Justice Award.
Named after Candace Kugel, FNP, CNM, MS, former Specialist of Clinical Systems & Women’s Health and Ed Zuroweste, MD, Founding Medical Director, the Kugel-Zuroweste Health Justice Award recognizes young clinicians making an impact at the intersections of vulnerability, migration, and health. “Emanie Dorival is the epitome of a young leader, and she’s on a mission,” Dr. Zuroweste said. “She is exactly who we want [for this award].”
Dorival, a native of Haiti, is the Chief Executive Officer and founder of Ephphatha Medical Care Services, a community-based, bilingual and bicultural primary care office serving the communities of Seaford, Delaware and Salisbury, Maryland. The Seaford clinic’s doors opened in December, 2019—just months before COVID-19 triggered the closure of many freshman businesses, including medical offices. But closing Ephphatha was “never an option” for Dorival, who focused instead on sustaining the practice out of her own life savings.
