Spencer Foreman, MD, president of Montefiore Medical Center, was recently granted an honorary doctorate at a Lehman College awards ceremony for the remarkable growth, innovation and research achieved under his leadership, said Dr. Mary Papazian, Lehman’s provost and senior vice president.
She also said that Foreman remained committed to the mission of service to the community and presided over the opening of the Children’s Hospital, advances in minimally-invasive surgery and new applications of technology to medicine.
Earlier this year, Foreman announced that he will retire once a successor is found.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
