Contact Mary C. Schoeffel at 239-417-3465 or mschoeffel@parkinsonassociationswfl.org More about Dr. Ben Carson: Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Carson was the first surgeon to successfully perform separation of craniopagus (Siamese) twins joined at the back of the head in 1987. He was also the first to complete a successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins in 1997 in South Africa, and he performed the first successful placement of an intrauterine shunt for a hydrocephalic twin.
Dr. Carson holds more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees. He is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, the Institute of Medicine the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans and many other prestigious organizations. In June, 2008, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bush, which is the highest civilian honor in the land. He has literally received hundreds of other awards during his distinguished career. Dr. Carson was a candidate in the 2015 presidential primaries before accepting the position as the 17th United States Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. At HUD his team was responsible for many innovative programs such as the Foster Youth to Independence program (FYI) which helps youth who have aged out of foster care obtain the support necessary to set them on a trajectory of success. They also created the EnVision Center program which facilitates self-sufficiency in underserved populations. Under Secretary Carson's oversight, the agency once again became fiscally responsible resulting in the first clean audit in many years. He also chaired the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council consisting of multiple federal agencies for the purpose of developing and expanding the Opportunity Zone program. The list of accomplishments at HUD is expansive. He is president and co-founder of the Carson Scholars Fund, which recognizes young people of all backgrounds for exceptional academic and humanitarian accomplishments, and the author of six books. |
