In the heart of every health care institution, there are unsung heroes who go above and beyond their call of duty, individuals whose dedication to health justice knows no bounds. They are the rising stars in our field, often working tirelessly behind the scenes, and their impact is immeasurable. It is time to recognize and celebrate these exceptional individuals by nominating them for the annual Kugel & Zuroweste Health Justice Award.
 

Who Are We Looking For?

We are searching for those who have recently embarked on their health care careers, no more than five years in, yet have already made a profound difference. These are individuals who, despite their relative youth in the field, have shown an unwavering commitment to health justice, particularly for our most vulnerable populations.
