The Pediatric Physicians Organization at Boston Childrens Hospital presented Longwood Pediatrics Margaret Manion, MD, of Weston, with the 2013 Community Pediatric Award on May 29, the highest honor Boston Childrens bestows on physicians.

Recipients have an ongoing commitment to their patients and families and to the education of young doctors who come after them.

Dr. Manion consistently practices good medicine and does good works without making a big show of it. She is a Mount Holyoke College graduate who went to Mount Sinai for medical school and then the Floating Hospital for her residency and a chief residency year.

She won numerous scholarly awards in college and medical school, including the Louisa Stone Stevenson award at Mount Holyoke College, and the Merck award at Mount Sinai.

She has been in private practice ever since, first at Weston Pediatrics, where she was managing partner for a number of years, and now at Longwood Pediatrics since 2008.

Dr. Manion has been elected Best of Boston Top Docs on three separate occasions, in 2009, 2011 and 2012. Childrens Director of Community Pediatric Programs Julie Dollinger proclaims she is pleased that Boston Childrens has finally caught up with the city of Boston in recognizing our local treasure.

Dr Manion is active in the alumni association for the Floating Hospital, and serves on the Board of Trustees for The Gifford School in Weston. She is also a longstanding member of several important academic committees in the Longwood area, including the Newborn Medicine Credentialing Committee at the Brigham, the Credentialing Committee at Boston Childrens, and the Community Medicine Committee at Boston Childrens.

In addition to serving her community and the hospital community well, she is a terrific doctor whose patients love her. She currently resides in Weston with her husband, Amir Nankali.
