Emory at Grady Awards

The Emory at Grady Advocacy Award recognizes a faculty member’s significant contribution in the field of advocacy. Advocacy is defined as seeking structural and policy change on behalf of patients, learners, and communities in ways that promote health equity, advance medical education, and/ or improve patient care and outcomes.

The Emory at Grady Best Colleague Award recognizes a faculty member who shows support of their colleagues and can always be counted on to be available to help their colleagues. This award recognizes devoted faculty who may receive fewer official recognitions and kudos than their colleagues, but whose contributions have truly made a difference and deserve acknowledgement.

The Emory at Grady Community Award recognizes faculty whose work has elevated our community at the level of our school, hospital system, or the city and counties that we serve. The award may honor an individual or team for various forms of engagement that have made a significant impact on the community that Grady serves or the members of Grady Health Care. This can include volunteer service, program development, or community organizing. Honorees should demonstrate a commitment to partnering with others to generate a sustainable impact on community needs.
