Description
The National Vulvodynia Association’s Marinoff Vulvodynia Clinic Award encourages health care providers to establish vulvovaginal pain clinics in underserved areas. Support is intended to set up a weekly clinic in an institutional setting, making the development of a recurring clinical service—not a separate research project—the award’s central focus.
The award honors Stanley Marinoff, M.D., a pioneer in the diagnosis and treatment of vulvodynia who taught thousands of gynecologists to recognize it as a legitimate medical disorder. Through this award, the association connects his legacy of clinical recognition and treatment with its goal of encouraging services in underserved areas.
