Dr.
Geoffrey C. Robinson of Vancouver is recognized nationally and internationally
as a leader and pioneer in the field of child health promotion.

and the delivery of care in communities to better meet the changing
needs of children and to attend to their developmental needs. His
advocacy for care by parent, day care surgery and multidisciplinary
diagnostic centres, unheard of 30 years ago, strengthened the case

which encouraged early intervention programs for infants and prevention
of fetal alcohol syndrome.
