The Aultman Medical Staff created the Hippocrates Honor Society in 2011. The “lifetime achievement award” recognizes local physicians who exemplify the qualities of excellence, compassion, integrity and leadership.

Hippocrates Award Criteria

Anyone – physicians, nurses, patients, family members, Aultman Hospital 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.
• Professional accomplishments.

Donate to the Hippocrates Honor Society

This year, 2018, the Aultman Hospital Medical Staff Ethos Committee has chosen to make a charitable donation to Aultman's Ambassador Program in honor of the outstanding physicians inducted into the Hippocrates Honor Society. The Ambassador Program teaches the importance of healthy eating and living to area high school students. To further support this cause and help fulfill the hospital's mission to "Lead Our Community to Improved Health," please consider making a personal contribution.
