The Greenebaum Compassion Award is presented by Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum to a member of the cancer center staff member who exemplifies caring and compassion in health care. Mr. Stewart Greenebaum established the award in 2007 to recognize the special care that has become the hallmark of the cancer center that bears his name.
This award commends those individuals who go above and beyond their normal duties to provide not only excellent medical care, but also compassion, hope and dignity at a time when a patient is so vulnerable. The compassion award will be presented to two individuals each year: one award to be presented in the spring, the second recipient to be announced in the fall.
The Greenebaum Compassion Award recognizes that even the simplest act of kindness can have the greatest impact on the quality of a patient’s life. This award encourages selfless acts and promotes altruism and compassion in future generations of health care providers.
