    SCOTIA, NY, November 01, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who, the world's premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to present Andrew M. Hess, PhD, with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. An accomplished listee, Andrew M. Hess, PhD, celebrates many years' experience in his professional network and has been noted for achievements, leadership qualities, and the credentials and successes he has accrued in his field. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Hess's career journey is a testament to his dedication and versatility. A renowned pediatric psychologist, he has worked with children struggling with various conditions in schools, hospitals, and his private practice. His significant contributions to child psychology in schools and hospitals throughout New York are widely recognized. Over the years, he also held a part-time job doing computer-based cognitive rehabilitation with young adults who had sustained a traumatic brain injury, which quickly turned into a full-time pediatric psychologist position at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital in Schenectady, New York.

Dr. Hess's commitment to his community is as impressive as his professional achievements. As a board member of the New York State Brain Injury Association, he co-chaired the Concussion Initiative, demonstrating his dedication to improving public health. His volunteer work with the Albany Institute and donations to international relief organizations further underscore his altruism.

In 1984, Dr. Hess won the Albert J. Harris Award from the International Reading Association in recognition of his doctoral dissertation. Subsequently, he received multiple awards from the Brain Injury Association and the Epilepsy Foundation. While his career has been filled with highlights, he takes the most pride in his work as a clinician. For 30 years, he prioritized establishing meaningful connections with his clients, showing unwavering commitment and care. He embraced families of Hispanic and Black heritage, as well as those facing economic hardships. Dr. Hess's work with the New York State Brain Injury Association Concussion Initiative was another standout moment in his career.

Dr. Hess's personal life and future plans provide a glimpse into the man behind the professional achievements. Though hard work and dedication have brought him far in his career, Dr. Hess credits his success to his father, who, despite never graduating from high school, exhibited a steadfast work ethic, sometimes working two or three jobs to make ends meet. Other incredible mentors include a leading expert in developmental memory research and those who have supported him above and beyond. Within the coming years, Dr. Hess and his wife have plans to travel and spend more time with their grandchildren.
