“We make a living by what we get,
We make a life by what we give”

Winston Churchill

Dr. DiNubile believes in giving back and devotes tremendous time to helping others.  His volunteer work ranges from working with at-risk inner-city children to teaching medical students and resident physicians in training.  From mentoring future doctors to helping set national healthcare policy, he always finds time to lend a helping hand.  He especially enjoys efforts to educate the public about health related issues. 

He served as special advisor to President George Bush (First Bush Administration) on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports under the leadership of Arnold Schwarzenegger.  He continues his work with Arnold as the National Medical Advisor to the Inner-City Games Foundation and was the Founder and Chairman of Inner-City Games Philadelphia for which he now serves as Chairman Emeritus.  Inner-City Games name was recently changed to “After-School All-Stars” but its wonderful mission remains the same and it remains the largest, most successful after-school program for at-risk children in the nation.

Dr. DiNubile was recently honored with the prestigious Torch Award for his years of volunteer work with After-School All-Stars Philadelphia aimed at making the future brighter for Philadelphia's at-risk children . He remains very active in fundraising efforts for After-School All-Stars.  To learn more about After-School All-Stars or to make a donation, please contact us at info@drnick.com.

Dr. DiNubile also supports the Arts and has worked with The Pennsylvania Ballet and school for over 20 years.  Pennsylvania Ballet also relies on individuals and corporate generosity to continue its tremendous work.  Donations can be made by contacting Pennsylvania Ballet at 215-551-7000.  You can learn more about the importance of supporting the Arts by clicking here.

Dr. DiNubile’s volunteerism also includes teaching at the University of Pennsylvania where he works with both medical students and orthopaedic surgery residents in training. He has helped introduce the concept of “Exercise is Medicine” into medical school curricula around the nation. In the past Dr. DiNubile served as an Eisenhower Foundation U.S. Ambassador to China on a Sports Medicine educational exchange, something that tremendously influenced his approach to patient care in his own practice.

Dr. DiNubile has been honored with numerous awards for his volunteer work including: Torch Award (for work with at-risk inner-city children in Philadelphia); Honor Graduate Award (for work in keeping physical education and fitness an integral part of the Children Achieving school curriculum in the Philadelphia Public School System); and the HAFL Award (Healthy American Fitness Leaders award through the National Fitness Leaders Association given to individuals who have positively changed the health of our nation).

Remember:

"We cannot hold a torch
 to light another's path
 without brightening our own"
