Cancer Researcher to Speak at Health Care Hero Awards

Speaking of the medical community, here's another note for you. Don't forget to submit your nominations for the Business Weekly's 2010 Health Care Hero Awards. The Awards honor organizations and individuals in the health care field who epitomize the spirit embodied in the word "hero." Nominations for the awards will be accepted until July 30 and forms are available online. A winner and a runner-up will be honored in each of the following categories: Community Achievement in Health Care, Physician, Advancement in Health Care, Medical Professional and Volunteers. 

The Awards breakfast will take place September 17, and keynote speaker will be Douglas J. Schwartzentruber, M.D., surgical oncologist and medical director of the Center for Cancer Care in Goshen. Earlier this year he was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world for his work in cancer research.

P.S. Don't forget another upcoming awards ceremony - the Innovation Awards.  If you or someone you know has developed an innovative business, product, or service - now is the time to show that off! The Innovation Awards will recognize innovative companies and individuals in the 16-county Fort Wayne region.
