NEW YORK, May 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The American Health Council has chosen Dr. Amanda D. Maynard, Internist at Ohio Health, as one of the "Best Doctor's in America" for 2017. Recognized for her knowledge and expertise in Internal Medicine, Adult Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulation, Dr. Maynard has been awarded the "Leaders in Medicine" award among Ohio doctors.
Selection for the American Health Council’s “Leaders in Medicine” award is reserved for those individuals who have exhibited exemplary conduct in their field. These doctors and medical educators serve as the guiding light for advancement from the classroom to the consultation room to the operating room. Only those who master the key roles that drive patient care — advocate, collaborator, communicator, decision maker, expert, manager, scholar — are deserving to be named the “Best Doctors in America.”
With experience in the field of Internal Medicine, Dr. Maynard offers valuable insight in her role as Internist at Ohio Health. Established in Ohio in 1891, Ohio Health is a non-for-profit, faith-based hospitals and healthcare organization. Focused on the improvement of the community through the delivery of quality, convenient, and timely healthcare, Ohio Health was named to the 2013 Top Hospital list from the Leapfrog Group.
Board Certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine, Dr. Maynard’s day-to-day responsibilities include chronic acute care for patients age 16 and up tackling hypertension, diabetes, asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and osteopathic medicine.
Maintaining consecutive recognition as the Best Doctors in America for 2015 and 2016, Dr. Maynard has completed a fellowship with the American College of Physicians, and has served as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Ohio University of Osteopathic Medicine.
Following graduation with her medical degree from West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in 2007, Dr. Maynard completed an internship in 2008 and residency in Internal Medicine at Doctors Hospital in 2010.
Dr. Maynard maintains membership with the American College of Physicians, The American Osteopathic Association, The Ohio Osteopathic Association, The American College of Osteopathic Internists, and The American Board of Osteopathic Internal Medicine.
Looking back, Dr. Maynard attributes her success to her dedication, strong work ethic, and the support from her parents who helped her to be involved in the medical field at a young age. Dr. Maynard chose the field of Internal Medicine after working at the front desk of a hospital in high school and later becoming an ER technician.
In her free time, Dr. Maynard enjoys running marathons, horseback riding, paddle boarding, boating and spending time with her husband and two English Bulldogs (Gus and Lula).
Considering the future, Dr. Maynard hopes to do administrative work for Ohio Health, to help to make changes to the VA hospitals, and to provide better healthcare and access to veterans.
