Heartfelt and proud congratulations to my sister,
Denise Silber, who is to be awarded the
Legion of Honor -- France's most prestigious civil decoration! This is for her professional work in bringing the Internet and social media to bear on improving health care in France and internationally, under such rubrics as eHealth and Health 2.0.
La Légion d'honneur, in which Denise will take on the grade of
chevalier, is a distinction not often bestowed on non-French citizens (Denise is a U.S. citizen living in Paris). The announcement is
here.
