WESTON, Conn. – Dr. Eric Mazur, vice president and chief medical officer at Norwalk Hospital who lives in Weston, has been elected as a Master of the American College of Physicians.

The award was bestowed by the American College of Physicians, a national organization of doctors of internal medicine, the largest medical-specialty organization and second largest physician group in the U.S.

Mazur was one of two physicians from Connecticut to receive the award this year.
