CALLING FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE I.B. HARRISON, M.D. HUMANITARIAN AWARD AND THE OUTSTANDING PHYSICIAN AWARD

The Capital Medical Society and the Capital Medical Society Alliance will host our annual Celebration Awards Dinner in March 2022 at the FSU University Center Club, in honor of Doctors’ Day. At the event, we will be awarding the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award, a prestigious award initiated by Capital Health Plan, and the Outstanding Physician Award.

The criteria for the awards differ. The criteria for the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award are predicated on the values that came to be associated with the late Dr. I.B. Harrison: treating all patients with respect and dignity. Dr. Harrison was known as the voice for the ethical, compassionate practice of medicine. He is not only the inspiration for the award, but its first recipient, as well.

The Outstanding Physician Award honors a physician who has demonstrated distinguished leadership in organized medicine, community volunteerism, political and governmental activities, clinical excellence, and educational activities; particularly with medical students.

We are seeking nominations from the CMS membership as both of these awards are awarded to physicians by their peers.

Included in this issue of Cap Scan (pages 10 and 11) are the nomination forms. Please give thoughtful consideration to nominating a physician for each award. Please mail or email your completed nomination forms to the Capital Medical Society. All nominations are held in the strictest of confidence.

The deadline for nominations is January 17th.

Sergio Ginaldi, M.D.

2020/2021 Recipient of the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award

David Saint, M.D.

2020/2021 Recipient of the Outstanding Physician Award
