Oge and his spouse, Pam, moved with their three sons (Oge DC’96, Adam DC’99 and Ben DC’03, MD’11) to Concord, NH where he lived and practiced for 40 years while teaching third year Ob/Gyn clerkship students. He was awarded the first annual Geisel Ob/Gyn teaching award 2015 which has been named in his honor. Also, he was the first recipient of the Lifetime Educator Award at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. Dr. Young has been a past president of the NHMS and has served 20 years on the General Council representing NH Obstetricians/Gynecologists. Throughout his years of practice and in retirement he has been a staunch advocate for medicine- his colleagues and his patients. He
successfully sought insurance coverage for infertility, medical malpractice tort reform, paid
family and maternity leave, and, most recently, the protection of women’s reproductive rights. *At his retirement dinner he confessed to having had only one affair in 50 years of marriage. The problem is that it was with thousands of women.
