Dr. Friedrichs Awarded Outstanding Clinician Award


Newmarket - Dr. Paul Friedrichs of Lamprey Health Care recently received the 2010 New Hampshire Outstanding Clinician Award from BiState Primary Care Association for his exemplary skills and service as a primary care clinician.  This award serves as a testament to Dr. Friedrichs significant impact on the health of patients and the community in which he serves, and for his devotion to health care for underserved populations.

“Paul has devoted his medical career to providing a medical home for his patients and their families in our Newmarket Center, and has dedicated himself to providing the best possible care for multiple generations of families.  He has been a leader and a mentor for our staff because of his commitment to our mission, to our patients and to community health,” offers Ann H. Peters, CEO of Lamprey Health Care. 

Dr. Friedrichs has been a Family Physician at Lamprey Health Care’s Newmarket Center since 1986, providing health care services to patients and their families for 24 years.  His leadership extends well beyond Lamprey Health Care, however, as he has been published in nationally recognized professional journals, and in 2008 was named the New Hampshire Family Physician of the Year by the New Hampshire Academy of Family Practice -  the Academy’s highest award, recognizing clinical achievement, practice excellence, and community involvement.
