The honoree for the 10th anniversary of the “In the Pink of Health” luncheon have been chosen.

The Northeast Hospital Foundation selected Lake Houston neonatologist Dr. Angel Muñoz as its honoree. Foundation President Tim Baker, of Independence Bank of Kingwood, surprised Muñoz with the announcement during the Lake Houston Area Chamber’s July Salute to Health Care.

Muñoz is a medical doctor trained to handle complex and high-risk situations for newborns. He established Lake Houston’s first neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital in Humble in 1994 until this year when he transitioned to working full time at WeeKare, the two pediatric clinics he founded in Humble and in East Houston.
