In 2006, Health and Medicine Policy Research Group (HMPRG) established an awards program, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the organization’s founding. The purpose of the awards was to recognize public health vision and leadership in the areas of Health, Medicine, Policy, and Research; along with a fifth award which was presented to a Group for its focus on the determinants of health and its impact beyond the scope of its programs.. The awards were presented that year and again in 2009 when we added two new award categories for an Emerging Health Leader and a Young Health Activist.
We are very pleased to announce the 2010 HMPRG Award Winners:
- Health - Jose Lopez; Executive Director of the Puerto Rican Cultural Center
