Los Angeles, CA, March 23, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Max Franklin Lebow, the Medical Director of LAX Airport Medical Clinic and Reliant Immediate Care Medical Group president, has been named “Physician of the Month” by the American College of Urgent Care Physicians (ACUCP) for his community involvement and professional leadership. “That rumble you hear is not an earthquake,” said Dr. Ali, president of ACUCP. “It’s just Dr. Max Lebow making a difference in California. He knows the business end of urgent care medicine, and consumer advocacy lights up his resume. He’s was a shoo-in for this award.”
Dr. Lebow, former Medical Director of the Emergency Department at Centinela Hospital Medical Center in Inglewood, has a resume marked by patient and consumer advocacy. He serves on the Travelers with Autism committee at LAX International Airport and works to educate the transportation industry about travelers with disabilities and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Reliant Urgent Care has recently become a teaching site for the UCLA Nurse Practitioners training program where Dr. Lebow is an Assistant Clinical Professor at the UCLA School of Nursing.
Among his current business interests, Dr. Lebow serves as President and Medical Director with LA’s Insight Practice Partners, Inc., a leader in Revenue Cycle Management services for urgent care and occupational medicine markets.
