Call for Nominations: 2012 Carruth Wagner and Mable May Awards 

ATTENTION NURSES! -

The DEADLINE for the 2012 Carruth Wagner and Mabel May Wagner Awards Nomination Submission is Approaching – March 16, 2012!

The PHS Commissioned Officers Foundation (COF) is pleased to announce a call for nominations for the 2012 Carruth Wagner and Mabel May Wagner Awards. The five Carruth Wagner awards are named in honor of Dr. Carruth Wagner who dedicated his life to improving the health of the Nation. During his 30-year service to the U.S. Government and later contributions to the California Department of Health, he championed the development of medical professionals, future leaders, health policy and innovative public health improvements. He recognized that all levels of health professionals have the capacity to influence, and improve, the health of communities. Dr. Wagner served as the second Director of the Indian Health Service (1962 - 1965), and is credited as a pioneer in developing innovative education and training techniques designed to enhance quality health care providers and proficient management systems to improve health care delivery systems. The Mabel May Wagner award was established in 1979 and is open to all professional nurses in the USPHS who are engaged in clinical nursing practice.

Each of the Carruth Wagner and Mabel May Wagner Awards will include a $1,000 cash award and will require the awardee to complete an Ethics Review Form to be endorsed by their respective agency's Ethics Officer before the cash award can be received.
