title: A tribute to Frank V. deGruy on the occasion of honoring him with the Donald Bloch Award.
abstract: Recognizes Frank V. deGruy as the recipient of the Donald Bloch Award. deGruy is a leader in integrated, collaborative primary care. He goes so far as to describe mental health and primary care as inseparable, saying attempts to segregate the two inevitably lead to inferior care. His accomplishments include the presidency of Collaborative Family Healthcare Association, during which he involved the organization in grant-getting, to study all aspects of the implementation of integration on the ground. In addition, he argued for and implemented collaboration with other like-minded organizations.
