STATE COLLEGE — A State College doctor was recently named Dermatologist of the Year by the Pennsylvania Academy of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery, according to a press release.
Dr. Lorraine L. Rosamilia received the honor, which is presented to a dermatologist who has made significant contributions to the specialty, at the PAD Annual Scientific Meeting on Sept. 20 in Hershey.
