Neurosurgery Blog Features Neurosurgeon Awarded with TMA Foundation Heart of Gold Award

Texas Medical Association Foundation (TMA Foundation) recently awarded neurosurgeon Mark J. Kubala, MD, FAANS(L), their highest honor, the Heart of Gold Award. On June 17, the Neurosurgery Blog posted an article highlighting Dr. Kubala as the award recipient. The foundation presents the award to outstanding individuals who embody a “gold standard” of volunteerism and have made a measurable impact on the foundation’s mission through gifts and leadership. A champion of the TMA Foundation for more than three decades, Dr. Kubala had a vision in 1994 of the critically needed physician-led public health programs the foundation could support. The Hard Hats for Little Heads bicycle helmet giveaway program for Texas children was born partly by his backing.
