“ The stories told by the award recipients were both informative and inspirational . Being in a room with individuals who have a common goal is very powerful . The absence of competitive barriers for one evening was my favorite part .”

Marshall University Joan C . Edwards School of Medicine
“ Events like the Health Care Hall of Fame inspire us to do better and be better . They give us a chance to connect with one another both personally and professionally , potentially allowing for collaborations that might not have existed otherwise . It ’ s also satisfying to see our peers gain statewide recognition for their efforts . Too often , work in the health care professions goes unrewarded , so events like this one give us a chance to congratulate and thank each other for their contributions .”
– Dr . James Nemitz ,
President , West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine
“ The Health Care Hall of Fame was an amazing evening of celebrating some of West Virginia ’ s best and brightest health care executives and physicians . In my 34 years in the health care industry , I have never seen such an accomplished and highly respected group of health care industry officials and providers all together under one roof . It was truly an honor for me to introduce each inductee and I cannot wait for next year .”
