Texas Children’s is thrilled to announce Dr. Dean B. Andropoulos, Anesthesiologist-in-Chief and Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Texas Children’s Hospital, has been named the recipient of the Dolly D. Hansen Award for Lifetime Achievement by the Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society (CCAS), a section of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia (SPA).
“I am truly grateful for this honor and humbled by this recognition,” said Dr. Andropoulos. “I’m proud to be a member of the CCAS, and to see how our society has grown over the past 20 years.”
The CCAS Lifetime Achievement Award was designed to acknowledge a lifetime contribution to the society’s mission, which is to improve the perioperative care and outcomes, and facilitate technological advances in therapy for newborns, infants and children with cardiovascular disease, congenital or acquired, and adults with congenital heart disease requiring anesthetic care. As the founding president of CCAS, Dr. Andropoulos has faithfully pursued its mission throughout his career.
“Every single day I get to work with this fantastic group of dedicated physicians, I learn something new,” added Dr. Andropoulos. “I am forever grateful to Texas Children’s Hospital.”
