Filipino doc receives Jack Sipp award

The 18th Annual Jack Sipp Golf and Tennis Outing to benefit St. Vincent’s Hospital Staten Island was held on May 9, 2005 at the Richmond County Country Club.

This year’s recipient of the Jack Sipp Distinguished Service Award was Nicolas C. Lansigan, Jr., M.D., in recognition of his distinguished service to the Staten Island community and St. Vincent’s Hospital as a skilled and highly respected general surgeon. It is for his dedication to the medical profession, his patients, and to the hospital that he was honored at this year’s golf and tennis outing.

Dr. Lansigan is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He is an active member of many medical organizations including the American Medical Association, New York State Medical Society and the Richmond County Medical Society.

He was past president of the Philippine Medical Association in America and outgoing president of the University of the Philippines Medical Alumni Society in America, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut Chapter.

This popular event is a major fund-raising effort in support of the programs at St. Vincent’s Hospital Staten Island.

As a tribute to Dr. Lansigan, the huge proceeds from this 2005 Golf and Tennis Outing will benefit the Perioperative Services at St. Vincent’s.
More than 150 golfers and tennis players enjoyed the beautiful spring day.

Dr. Lansigan was presented a plaque during the cocktails and dinner at the Clubhouse.

The plaque read “The John Sipp Distinguished Service Award is presented to Nicolas C. Lansigan, Jr., M.D. in recognition of his leadership, dedication and service which has benefited the quality of life in Staten Island.”
