Reiss recognized as Citizen of the Year at celebration

Longtime Lodi physician Dr. Walter Reiss received the Outstanding Citizen of the Year award during a Thursday evening ceremony filled with music, laughter and optimism about the future of the city.

Reiss was one of four award recipients at the Hutchins Street Square ceremony, which also served as the Lodi Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting. After receiving the annual award, Reiss told the audience of more than 200 people that the free medical clinic he helped to found in Lodi has helped both the city's homeless and working families who otherwise can't afford health care.
