Gold Medal Award Winners



*Silver Medal Award Winner—The Silver Medal Award was established in 1974 to recognize outstanding executives who are not in hospital or hospital system positions. The award served as the counterpart to the Gold Medal Award until 1991, when the Board of Governors approved the merger of the Gold Medal and Silver Medal awards, authorizing up to two Gold Medal Awards annually.
