February 6, 2016 

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, 

On behalf of the Polish-American Medical Society in Chicago, I would 

like to welcome you to the 66th Physicians’ Ball. Our annual Ball has become 

a tradition through the years, as it brings together and bonds Polish- 

American physicians. 

The Society would like to salute and welcome this year’s Guest of Honor 

– Mr. Alex Storozynski, Chairman of the Board of the Kosciuszko Foundation; and our new Honorary 

Members - extraordinarily accomplished Polish physicians from Poland and the US, joining us here tonight. 

Year 2016 marks the 70th Anniversary of the Polish- American Medical Society (PAMS) in Chicago. 

Throughout its history our Society has become one of the most respected organizations in the Chicago area. 

We are an influential Polonia organization and a member of the Polish-American Congress. We are also an 

important local affiliate of the Chicago Medical Society, whose current President, Dr. Kathy Tynus, has 

Polish roots and whom we are proud to welcome as a PAMS member. With over 480 physician-members, 

representing many specialties, we are the largest Polish medical émigré organization in the world. 

Our goals are both to support medical professionals and students, and to serve Chicago-area Polonia. 

Our Society organizes professional events, assists medical newcomers, awards scholarships and initiates 

various medical efforts benefitting the Polish community. We are also helping numerous charitable causes 

through fundraising efforts. 

We in turn are grateful to several businesses and foundationsfor their support. Their contributions and 

sponsorship are greatly appreciated. This year our thanks go especially to the Dr. Roguska-Kyts Foundation 

for generous support of our educational funds. 

Tonight’s beautiful event is the result of the work of many individuals to whom I would like to express 

my special gratitude for volunteering their valuable time. It is the dedication of the Society’s Board, the Ball 

Organizing Committee and many other friends that makes this spectacular evening happen. Sadly, we also 

mourn the untimely passing of our friend and long-time member of our Society’s Board, Dr. Eva Kiljanska- 

Buch; and a recent tragic deaths of PAMS Honorary Member Dr. Krzysztof Krawczynski and his wife. 

The proceeds from Physicians’ Balls have supported many worthy causes. The tradition of philanthropy 

continues tonight, as this year’s proceeds will go towards our educational funds, providing grants and scholarships 

to medical, dental and veterinary students of Polish origin in the Chicago region - and to the 

Paderewski Symphony Orchestra. 

Once again, I would like to thank you all for supporting our mission and for coming here tonight. I wish 

you a wonderful and memorable evening! 

Kornelia Krol, M.D.

The Guest of Honor 

at the 66th Physicians’ Ball 

Chicago, February 6, 2016 

The Polish-American Medical Society 

Salutes 

Alex Storożyński 

Chairman of the Board of 

The Kosciuszko Foundation 

for His Vision, Leadership, Outstanding Contributions 

to Polish-American Scientific, Educational and Cultural 

Exchange, and Promotion of Polish History 

and Culture in the US. 

16


A 

Alex Storożyński 

lex Storozynski is an award-winning journalist and author. 

He is currently Chairman of the Board of the Kosciuszko 

Foundation (KF), the American center of Polish culture. 

During 2008-2014 Storozynski was President and Executive 

Director of the KF. 

Founded in 1925 by Professor Stephen Mizwa as “a Living Memorial” 

to Tadeusz Kosciuszko, the Foundation promotes closer ties between 

Poland and the United States through educational, scientific 

and cultural exchanges. The KF awards up to $1,000,000 annually in 

fellowships and grants to scholars, professionals and artists and promotes 

Polish culture in America. It has awarded scholarships to Poles 

who have changed history. Among many funds donated by individuals 

and organizations, the Kosciuszko Foundation administers PAMS Scholarship Fund, which has allowed 

more than 20 physicians from Poland to be trained or pursue their research at Chicago 

universities. 

Storozynski received his Bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at New Paltz and 

a Master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University. From 1985-87, Storozynski was a graduate 

fellow at the University of Warsaw, but was blocked from completing his doctorate after being interrogated 

by the Communist regime’s secret police for his ties with the Solidarity opposition and trying to 

smuggle illegal publications out of Poland. Storozynski was then added to the 

“Index of Undesirable Persons in the Polish People’s Republic”. 

Since then, as history would have it, Storozynski has received the “Lech Walesa Media Award”, has 

been decorated with Poland’s “Gold Cross of Merit” by President Lech Kaczynski, and the “Officer’s 

Cross of Merit” by President Bronislaw Komorowski. 

Storozynski’s book The Peasant Prince: Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the Era of Revolution, won the 

Fraunces Tavern Book Award, The Templar Military History Award – “Military Order of Saint Louis,” 

and other honors. His documentary film about Kosciuszko was released in 2015 and broadcast on 

PBS; Chicago’s WTTW Channel 11 was the first in the US to present it on October 1st last year. 

As a New York Daily News editorial board member Storozynski wrote editorials and op-ed columns 

on public policy issues and was part of the writing team that won the Pulitzer Prize, George Polk 

Award, Sigma Delta Chi Award, Deadline Club Award, Associated Press and Silurian Awards. He is a 

former City Editor of The New York Sun, founding editor of amNewYork, and has been published in 

The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune, The New York Post, Newsday, Forbes.com, The 

Huffington Post and other publications. 

As President of the Kosciuszko Foundation, Storozynski modernized its structures and increased its 

visibility. He organized an international conference about the Katyn massacre at the Library of Congress 

in Washington with participation of Zbigniew Brzezinski and members of the US Congress, and 

the Katyn exhibit in the rotunda of the Senate building. Storozynski also wrote a petition signed by 

over 300,000 people, including President Bronislaw Komorowski, professor Norman Davies, Chief 

Rabbi of Poland Michael Schudrich, members of the US Congress, Auschwitz survivors and other 

renowned people, that persuaded The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press 

and other media to change their Style Books to ban the historically erroneous phrase “Polish concentration 

camps” when describing Nazi German WWII atrocities. Thanks to Alex Storozynski the 

Kosciuszko Foundation is now also legally registered in Poland as Fundacja Kosciuszkowska Polska, 

which allows Polish citizens to receive tax deductions for donating money to the KF for scholarships 

and the promotion of Polish culture. 

A former Chairman of the Board of The Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union, Storozynski is also 

a board member of several other organizations, including the American Polish Advisory Council 

(APAC), Quinnipiac University’s Central European Institute and Friends of the American Revolution 

at West Point.

Ewa Kiljańska-Buch 

In the summer of 2015 everyone in the Polish-American Medical Society, 

with immense sadness and love, said good-bye to a special person – a great 

friend, colleague and a long-time Member of the Board of the Polish-American 

Medical Society in Chicago, Dr. Ewa Kiljańska-Buch. 

Dr. Buch was a graduate of Warsaw Medical Academy and of the Anesthesiology 

Residency at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago. 

Specializing in pediatric anesthesiology, she was a greatly respected Attending 

Physician at the Condell Hospital in Libertyville, Illinois, for over forty

in the Chicago area as a generous, fun-loving friend, excellent 

physician and avid traveler. She and her husband Roman Buch were wonderful 

hosts to many picnics and gatherings at their Libertyville estate, as 

well as favorite guests as participants in other events – warm-hearted and 

full of joie de vivre. At the Polish-American Medical Society, for over thirty 

years, Ewa’s enthusiasm with organizing numerous events was a shining 

example of dedication to our common goal. 

Ewa’s passing creates an enormous void in the work of the Polish-American 

Medical Society and leaves all her friends with a heavy sense of grief. 

The memory of Ewa Buch will always live in our hearts.

Paderewski Symphony Orchestra 

of Chicago, Orchestra Hall 

at Symphony Center 

THE PADEREWSKI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 

The Polish-American Symphony Orchestra (PASO), under the leadership of Barbara 

Bilszta, debuted at the Harold Washington Public Library in Chicago in 1997 

with a concert featuring Polish (Moniuszko) and American (Copland) music and was 

received with enthusiasm by a multi-ethnic audience. 

In 1999 the Orchestra was re-named for Jan Ignacy Paderewski - a virtuoso pianist, 

composer, statesman and the first Prime Minister of a reborn Poland. Thanks to 

the support of Polish and American communities the organization has grown from a 

small chamber ensemble to a large cultural organization with permanent staff, a strong 

team of volunteers, its own Choir and an Academy of Music for children and youth. 

Its mission is to organize concerts of Polish music, to promote Polish music and 

culture in the US and to provide music education. Under the baton of Wojciech Niewrzol 

PASO has performed 210 concerts of Polish music by Moniuszko, Paderewski, 

Chopin, Szymanowski, Gorecki, Penderecki, Kilar; as well as American and World 

music for over 240 000 listeners in Chicagoland’s concert halls, including the Copernicus 

Center, Harris Theatre, Rosemont Theatre and Orchestra Hall at the Symphony 

Center. Thanks to a partnership with the Copernicus Foundation, PASO has presented a 

number of complex, multimedia projects, e.g. Pan Tadeusz, Carnival in Venice, 

Dancing Chopin, Theatre of Song, Music of Polish Kings. 

Its staging of the American premiere of Moniuszko’s Straszny Dwor at the Rosemont 

Theatre met with such applause that PASO is planning to present it at Chicago’s 

Lyric Opera stage on April 9-10, 2016 with the participation of opera singers from 

Poland. 

True to the Orchestra’s educational mission, its director, Barbara Bilszta, herself 

an accomplished musician, has also organized radio programs, press releases, meetings, 

presentations and master classes. 120 children are enrolled in PASO’s Academy 

of Music. Concerts for students of 35 Polish Saturday Schools have attracted over 27 

000 listeners. 

For their efforts ad accomplishments Barbara Bilszta and Wojcich Niewrzol have 

received numerous Polish and American cultural and leadership honors - Medal for 

Promoting Polish Music , the State of Illinois Outstanding Public Servant Award, the 

Cook County Certificate of Excellence, Silver Gloria Artis Medal , Citibank’s 

Charisma Award for Outstanding Leadership and “ Best of the Best” title by the audience.
