Passaic County Corrections Local 197 provides the ‘silver’ lining Dr. Ali Mazandarani of MedWell Spine, Osteoarthritis & Neuropathy Center in Midland Park recently was awarded the Silver Life Award by Passaic County Corrections Local 197. Each year only a few select citizens who have demon- strated their continued support to the law enforcement community are given this prestigious award. For example, Paterson Police PBA Local 1 has given one award per de- cade for the past 60 years. “Dr. Maz,” as he is known, has been treating law enforcement patients for more than 20 years. “The Silver Life Award is a highly coveted award,” John Welsh, president of Local 197, stated. “We go to great lengths to identify only those who truly are a pillar of our community, and from those select few the honoree is cho- sen. Dr. Maz has continually shown his support for the law enforcement community and for both Bergen and Passaic counties. Awarding him a Silver Life Award is an honor he deserves.” d www.njcopsmagazine.com ■ AUGUST 2018 71
