Norwell doctor wins Massachusetts Medical Society award
COURTESY OF MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOCIETY
Dr. Ronald W. Dunlap, a Norwell resident, was recently honored by the Massachusetts Medical Society with its 2021 Award for Distinguished Service.
The honor is awarded each year to a member of the society who has made significant contributions to the goals of the organization through demonstrated leadership, member recruitment and committee work.
A cardiologist and member of MMS since 2000, Dunlap served as the organization’s president from 2013 to 2014 and provided leadership to the organization as the nation began to implement the Affordable Care Act.
Dunlap previously chaired the medical society’s committee on diversity in medicine, is a former member of the board of trustees, a longtime member of its house of delegates and served on the organization’s committee on information technology for nine years.

Emergency department visits at Massachusetts hospitals fell 55% between January and April 2020, and as of last September were 24% below 2019 levels, illustrating how many would-be patients were staying away during the coronavirus pandemic.
Data from the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission shows significantly smaller drops in use for behavioral health but the biggest drop for potentially avoidable visits, which declined 60%. Among age groups, the sharpest decline in ER use was those 17 and under, and a disproportionate share of hospital admissions for coronavirus were among racial and ethnic minorities and lower-income residents.
The Health Policy Commission said more research is needed to know to what extent people who didn t go to an emergency room instead sought care at other locations such as a primary care office or telehealth, or how much people might have been exposed to fewer risks of illness or injury because of the pandemic.
