SARANAC LAKE - A nurse from the Ambulatory Surgical Unit at Adirondack Medical Center, a member of Adirondack Health, has been named the 2011 recipient of the prestigious Meghan E. Handler Excellence in Nursing Memorial Award.

Aimee Goddeau, a registered nurse, was recognized recently for her exceptional work in the nursing field.

The Handler award is given annually to an AMC nurse with less than three years experience. It is named in memory of Meghan Handler, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Richard Handler, who passed away in 1998. Dr. Handler, an internist, was a long-time member of the AMC Medical Staff  who retired in 2011.
