On September 14, 2010 at a gala dinner in New York City, Clinic Founder Paul Martel was named the winner of the Investment News Community Leadership award for Global Community Impact.  The award carried a generous $15,000 gift to Clinica Dulce Refugio in honor of Paul’s humanitarian work in Central and South America. Upon receiving the award, Paul announced that it would be used to fund the construction of the Clinic’s second floor which will house an operating room, a delivery room and patient rooms with six beds.  “The clinic is a place that offers hope to a population of people. It is an oasis in the midst of great need and suffering.”  The evening was hosted by Investment News and featured keynote speakers Leigh Anne and Sean Touhy, the inspiration for the best selling book and feature film, “The Blind Side.”

Paul Martel accepts his Community Leadership Award for Global Community Impact

Paul R. Martel of YHB Investment Advisors, Inc. in West Hartford was recognized as the honoree of the Community Leadership Award for Global Community Impact for his work with his children’s clinic, Clinica Dulce Refugio, at the fourth annual Community Leadership Awards held September 14, 2010 in New York City. The event, hosted by the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation and InvestmentNews, the leading newspaper for financial advisors, recognized financial advisors from across the country for their leadership and commitment to making a positive difference in their communities. As an honoree, Martel was awarded $15,000 to benefit his clinic.

In 2007, after organizing 12 medical missions to South and Central America, Paul founded his own clinic in Riobamba, Ecuador. The clinic delivers free medical and dental care to the needy children of Chimborazo Province, an area of widespread poverty and lack of access to care. Since its founding, the clinic has treated over 6,000 children and has organized 7 caravans to remote areas of the province. The $15,000 award will make possible a new operating room and a delivery room. Paul said, “It is truly an honor to be recognized with this award. This is a dream come true for our clinic and will benefit many thousands of children who otherwise would have no hope for care.”

“Each day, financial advisors like Paul touch the lives of so many people both through their professional and charitable activities. In the process, they leave a lasting and positive impact on their communities,” said Kandis Bates, President of the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation. “It is an honor to recognize Paul whose hard work, generosity and unswerving commitment to his clinic has so greatly enriched the lives of others.”

“After reviewing hundreds of nominations of financial advisors who routinely give generously of their time, talents, and resources, selecting a handful of finalists proved to be quite difficult,” said Suzanne Siracuse, VP/Publisher of InvestmentNews and a member of the board of directors of the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation. “Our judges were once again inspired and humbled by the positive impact financial advisors make each and every day in their communities. This year’s honorees truly represent what is best about the financial services industry.”
