Professional Excellence Award

WHPRMS’ Professional Excellence Award is a great way to recognize a colleague who has earned the respect of others. If there is a person you admire in the healthcare industry, if they have been your mentor, your confidant, your beacon in the fog, or perhaps it is just blatantly obvious they really know their stuff― Then nominate them for WHPRMS’ Professional Excellence Award! Nominations are due by September 1, 2024.

Only one WHPRMS member is awarded this distinguished honor every year!
