To recognize and encourage strong medical staff leadership. “Engaging active medical staff in governance of the medical staff is key to patient safety and innovative medical staffs. Recognition of these providers by a national group addresses these issues, encourages involvement, and validates the work of these providers. I felt honored by this recognition and feel it will encourage continued involvement by younger providers in medical staff governance.” —James J.
