Hippocrates Award Criteria

Help us honor the physician pillars of our community by nominating a doctor for the 2023 class of the Hippocrates Honor Society. Nominations are being accepted through Sunday, April 30. 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.
