CONCORD — The New Hampshire Pediatric Society named its 2012 award winners, with Dr. John Moeschler the 2012 New Hampshire Pediatrician of the Year.

A professor of pediatrics at Dartmouth Medical School and director of clinical genetics at Children's Hospital at Dartmouth, he is cited for his 20 year tenure as director of the New Hampshire Leadership Education in Developmental and Related Disabilities.

The 2012 Franklin Norwood Rogers Award, awarded to the retired pediatrician of the year, went to Dr. Suzanne Boulter.

Dr. Boulter enjoyed a long career as a primary care and adolescent medicine pediatrician in Concord, first with the Concord Clinic (which later became Dartmouth-Hitchcock Concord) and, for 13 years until her retirement in 2011, as a pediatric faculty member of the NH-Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency Program at Concord Hospital.
