Congratulations to…
Island Doctor Christopher G. Marshall, who was recently certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM), a new independent medical specialty board. In an announcement last week, Eastern Long Island Hospital’s CEO, Paul J. Connor III, said the certification ensures that Dr. Marshall “meets the high standard of quality care, knowledge and skills necessary to prevent, recognize and treat addiction.”
A spokesman for ABAM said that, “Although one in five Americans entering the health care system has a substance abuse problem, there has never been a medical specialty board, drawn from all areas of medicine, dedicated to certifying addiction specialists. Now patients have a way to find specialized medical care for substance use disorders related to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, including some prescription medicines.”
