Wright Lauded by Medical Academy
Bob Wright was honored by The New York Academy of Medicine at a gala on March 28, 2007, for his strategic vision transforming a broadcast network into a diversified global media company, and for his passion to find a cure for autism. The academy also honored Joseph M. Feczko, M.D., chief medical officer of Pfizer Inc., and James W. Fordyce, chairman of The Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation.
