Ankle & Foot Care Centers’ managing partner Dr. Lawrence A. DiDomenico will receive the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons’ Distinguished Service Award at the organization’s Annual Scientific Conference in Phoenix, Ariz. Feb. 19-22. The organization’s board of directors presents this annual award to recognize members who volunteer their time, expertise and service to help advance its mission.

DiDomenico is the 12th recipient of the Distinguished Service Award.

“I am very humbled and honored to receive this award,” said DiDomenico, who practices out of Ankle & Foot Care Center’s Boardman, East Liverpool and Youngstown offices. “Throughout my career, I have had great mentors who helped me become a successful foot and ankle surgeon. That has inspired me to pass along that knowledge to other colleagues, so together, we can make a difference in our patients’ lives.”

DiDomenico began his podiatry career in 1990 after earning his medical degree from Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine. In 1994, he and colleagues Dr. Kenneth Emch and Dr. Robert Debiec founded Ankle & Foot Care Centers, which today is a 19-office regional podiatry practice spanning Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties in Ohio, and Greenville, Pa.

DiDomenico is the Fellowship Director at Ankle & Foot Care Centers and Kent State University’s College of Podiatric Medicine. This fellowship program is recognized by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. He became a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons in 1990 and served on its board of directors from 2003-2006. He has been active as a volunteer in the organization’s educational meetings, seminars, cadaver labs and as a member of various committees.
