Vwaire Orhurhu, M.D., Pain Management, UPMC in North Central Pa., was recently awarded by the Pennsylvania Medical Society (PAMED) with an Everyday Hero Award.

PAMED’s Everyday Hero Award is designed to showcase talented physicians who don’t view themselves as heroes but are in the eyes of patients and colleagues.

The award aims to highlight physician members who go above and beyond in their daily practice to provide exceptional care to their patients.

Orhurhu was nominated by a colleague who shared:

“Dr. Orhurhu is an excellent all-around physician. He is a compassionate, world-class researcher with dozens of publications in national peer reviewed journals. He is a national leader in our field already and is involved with national committee work. He has great technical skills, is the voice of reason in our specialty care of pain management, and embodies a truly well-rounded physician.”

Orhurhu sees patients at UPMC Pain Management, 1100 Grampian Blvd. and 451 River Ave., Williamsport, and UPMC Outpatient Center, 24 Cree Drive, Lock Haven.
