Hippocrates Award Criteria

The Hippocrates Honor Society is a “lifetime achievement award” that recognizes physicians for professionalism, excellence, compassion, integrity and leadership. 

Anyone – physicians, nurses, patients, family members, Aultman staff and administrators – may nominate a physician for the Hippocrates Honor Society. Physicians should meet all or most of these criteria:

• 10 years of practice as a physician.
• 10 years of service to Aultman.
• Community involvement.
• Local or national medical society involvement.
