Peter M. Townley, M.D., assistant clinical professor of medicine, and the Creighton University School of Dentistry are two recipients of the OneWorld Community Health Centers’ Milagro Award. The awards will be presented at a November 10 dinner. Terry Wilwerding, D.D.S., M.S., associate professor of prosthodontics, will accept the award for Creighton’s School of Dentistry.

Each year, OneWorld Community Health Centers, a south Omaha clinic that provides affordable health care to immigrant and low-income patients, honors a person or persons with the Milagro award. Milagro is the Spanish word for miracle. According to OneWorld, the recipients are "miracle workers," and are being honored for the time they devote to uninsured patients.

To celebrate the clinic's 35th anniversary, OneWorld is also honoring those who were instrumental in the clinic’s past, including founding board member, Jim Phalen, M.D., associate professor of radiology and medicine at Creighton University Medical Center.
