Congratulations to Vicki Shoghag Hovanessian for being named Cultural Advisor to the Embassy of Armenia. Shoghag, as her friends call her, has been a long-time supporter of AAHPO, one of many causes she has championed. She is the widow of the late Raffy Hovanessian, MD, a beloved AAHPO Board Member for whom the AAHPO, Dr. Raffy Hovanessian Medical Education Program was named.

“Shoghag is a tremendous force for good. She has helped many people directly and indirectly through the numerous charitable causes she and her family have supported. AAHPO congratulates Shoghag on receiving this honor which she so well deserves. We are fortunate to have her as part of our community,” said AAHPO President Lawrence V. Najarian, MD.
