On July 10th, 2012, ACAP was presented with a NYC Neighborhood Achievement Partnership Award from New York Small Business Services.

The award ceremony took place at Gracie Mansion

Here is the report from World Journal:

紐約市小商業局(SBS)10日在曼哈坦瑰西園(Gracie Mansion)頒發2012年度社區成就獎(Neighborhood Achievement Awards)，表揚全市五區的17位獲獎者，其中美國華人醫師會(Association of Chinese American Physicians，簡稱ACAP)因為致力於服務華人社區，獲得年度最佳夥伴獎(Partnership Award)。頒 獎典禮由代表市長彭博出席的副市長史堤爾(Robert Steel)和小商業服務局局長華許(Robert Walsh)共同主持。社區成就獎於2002年創立，表彰個人、組織在社區事務上的貢獻。該獎共有八個獎項，除了最佳夥伴獎(Partnership Award)外，包括年度小商業獎(Small Business of the Year Award)、發展獎(Development Award)、勞動力創新獎(Workforce Innovation Award)等。

獲年度小商業獎的商家都各有特色，其中布碌崙兩 位年輕姐妹創立的杯子蛋糕店「Brooklyn Cupcake」，為當地創造了很大的經濟效益，包括創造八個工作機會，整頓空置20年的店面，以及結合公益回饋社區。另外皇后區長島市的有機農場 「Brooklyn Grange Farm」，利用4萬平方呎的屋頂空間打造出都市綠洲，創造出1萬5000磅農產品產值的生產力，令人印象深刻。

而 今年獲得社區成就獎的唯一華人團體—美國華人醫師會成立已15年，目前有來自全國600多名華人執照醫生會員。協會秘書王元聰表示，該會扎根法拉盛，以培 植華人醫生、向華人社區推廣健康教育、促進美中醫生交流為宗旨，成立15年後能夠獲得紐約市府的認同及表揚，協會的醫師們都感到非常高興且非常榮耀。

協 會會員徐如良表示，華人因為文化上的差異，不論是在接受醫療或是健康觀念都和美國社會略為不同，該協會很多在中國和美國都受過醫學訓練的醫生有感於此，特 別投身在結合東西醫學的健康觀念推廣工作上，並且致力於培植下一代的華人醫師，除了帶領他們了解華人社區在醫療方面的需求，也啟發他們對東西方醫學領域的 探討研究，希望能夠更好地服務華人社區。

史堤爾在頒獎的時候特別表揚美國華人醫師會，讚揚這些醫師不計較名利，願意投身華人社區，回饋在醫療資源上較為弱勢的地方，紐約市若是一個更公平、更美好的地方，他們功不可沒。
