New York Medical College established the William Cullen Bryant Award in 1983 to recognize those remarkable individuals who, in the tradition of the College’s founder, William Cullen Bryant, demonstrate seminal leadership in health care, science, education, business or the arts.

Bryant, the son of a physician, was an editor, philosopher, poet, lawyer, and dynamic civic leader who substantively influenced the issues of his day through the power of his pen. During the second half of the 19th century, he led a select group of influential individuals in creating New York Medical College, which today has become one of the nation’s largest private health sciences colleges. Bryant subsequently served as president of the College’s Board of Trustees for more than a decade and was the medical school’s first president. The qualities of distinguished and broad leadership that Bryant demonstrated have been characteristic of all William Cullen Bryant medal awardees.

Dr. Jean M. Malecki began her work as director of the Palm Beach County Health Department with a vision of making Palm Beach County the healthiest community in the nation, and over the course of her 19 year career, went on to initiate a local public health system dedicated to serving the entire community by utilizing partnerships from every entity.A South Florida native, Dr. Malecki’s training began at Fairfield University in Connecticut where she obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree with pre-medical honors, and a medical degree from New York Medical College where she graduated with honors including membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society, Cor Et Manus Service Society and American Women’s Citation for Scholastic Achievement in Medicine. She earned a Master of Public Health Degree

from the University of Miami. Dr. Malecki is board certified in general preventive medicine and public health, and is a fellow of the American Board of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, and an alumnus of the Public Health Leadership Institute.In 1982, when HIV/AIDS was an emerging disease in Palm Beach County, Dr. Malecki diagnosed one of the first children with AIDS and helped form the Comprehensive AIDS Program, a 501c3, initially started with one of the first Robert Wood Johnson Grants Foundation for this disease. This program now serves more than 7,000 people living with HIV/AIDS in the County.In the mid-1990s, Dr. Malecki formed the Maternal Child Health Alliance and became its first president. Soon after, she helped create the Healthy Start, an off-shoot of the Maternal Child Health Allicance, which provides in-home counseling to pregnant women and follow-up care for mother and baby. Today, Palm Beach County maintains one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the United States.In 2001, Dr. Malecki received international attention for her assistance in the diagnosis and public health intervention of the first case of intentional Anthrax, successfully leading the investigation for the state of Florida.In 2002, when citizens of Palm Beach County voted to create the Health Care District of Palm Beach County to guarantee funding for health care and trauma services, Dr. Malecki served on the Board of Directors and helped initiate the Palm Beach County-Wide Trauma System. In addition, with funding through the District’s insurance programs, Dr. Malecki expand the primary care clinics within the Health Department—adding four new clinic buildings, an administrative complex, a hospital and county nursing home.Many of the programs instituted under Dr. Malecki’s leadership have become models for local public health systems throughout the nation, including: the Hospital Emergency Response Coalition, formed to unify the private hospitals in the event of a disaster; Protocol for Assessing Community Excellence in Environmental Health, to provide environmental support to communities in need of better water, air and land systems; and Community Health Division to forge public/private partnerships. Much of this has been accomplished through Dr. Malecki’s foresight in making the Palm Beach County Health Department an Academic Health Department that is constantly learning, teaching, and creating innovative ways to better serve the public’s health.Dr. Malecki has been identified as “Changing the Face of Medicine” and a Local Legend by the National Library of Medicine. She has been named one of the top 25 Faces of Public Health by the American Public Health Association and a Woman of Distinction by the Women’s Chamber of Commerce. She is a recipient of a Presidential Citation for her leadership in curtailing the risk from bioterrorism.
