The T. Stewart Hamilton, MD Distinguished Service Award, introduced in 1970 and awarded in most but not every year since then, is granted
to individuals who "contribute significant, noteworthy services to the health of the public." Recipients are individuals who have made
a career in the healthcare field and have contributed or achieved excellence in governance, management, or clinical services. Primary consideration
is given to the contributions of potential recipients in the following areas: improving the welfare of healthcare consumers; innovations in administrative
methods and practices; service in local, state, or national organizations in the healthcare field; promotion of positive public relations within the community;
networking, collaboration, and integration with other healthcare providers and agencies; advocacy of social and other legislation relating to improved quality
of care; advancement of the art and science of healthcare administration.
