2016 Winners of the Johns Hopkins Medicine Clinical Awards for Physicians and Care Teams

To the Johns Hopkins Medicine community

Dear Colleagues,

Last year, the Office of Johns Hopkins Physicians launched the Johns Hopkins Medicine Clinical Awards for Physicians and Care Teams, an annual awards program to recognize physicians and care teams who provide consistently outstanding patient care.

Now in its second year, the clinical awards continue to be particularly meaningful at Johns Hopkins Medicine, where we value quality patient care as highly as excellence in research and education. Open to providers who practice within Johns Hopkins Medicine, including our Johns Hopkins Community Physicians locations, the program recognizes multiple aspects of clinical excellence through six awards: Physician of the Year, Innovations in Clinical Care, the Armstrong Award for Excellence in Quality and Safety, Excellence in Service and Professionalism, Clinical Collaboration and Teamwork, and Best Consulting Physician.

All Johns Hopkins Medicine hospitals and Johns Hopkins Community Physicians facilities selected their six winners after nomination and local committee review. This year’s winners were honored at the Office of Johns Hopkins Physicians’ annual meeting on Dec. 6. Learn more about the awards program and see short videos featuring each winner.

Congratulations to all of the nominees and winners of this year’s awards. The recognition from your peers for demonstrating a steadfast commitment to our institution’s mission is significant and well-deserved. And thank you for all that you do. We are deeply grateful for your consistent dedication to providing excellent patient care and your tremendous efforts in going above and beyond to make Johns Hopkins Medicine the extraordinary institution it is today. We thank everyone who took the time to recognize and nominate a physician or care team, or participated in the selection process.
