Eli Newberger
 Eli Newberger, M.D. teaches at Harvard Medical School and founded the Child Protection Team and the Family Development Program at Children's Hospital in Boston.
A pediatrician and author, he is respected for his ability to bring together good sense and science on the main issues of family life. From his book "The Men They Will Become: The Nature and Nurture of Male Character," you can read on-line the chapter on Play and Sports
Dr. Newberger lives in Brookline, Massachusetts with his wife Carolyn. Together they have raised a daughter, they now have two grandchildren.
From the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, Volume 61, Number 2, April, 1991:
"Eli's contributions have been acknowledged with many honors and awards, including induction into Alpha Omega Alpha medical honorary society; the annual award for improvement of the welfare of children from the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children; the Pantaleoni Award for the outstanding contribution to the betterment and welfare of children, awarded by the greater Boston Committee for UNICEF; the Commissioner's Award for outstanding contributions in the prevention of child abuse and neglect, awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and the Humanitarian Award of the Massachusetts Psychological Association.
"This excellence in the field of child abuse and neglect has been matched by Eli's musical success playing tuba and piano with the New Black Eagle Jazz Band. Well known to jazz aficionados, the group has played in numerous festivals throughout the U.S. and overseas, and has cut more than 20 records. A rave review of the band in the New York Times hailed Eli as one of the outstanding tuba players in the country.
