The Henry P. Russe Citation for Exemplary Compassion in Healthcare
HENRY P. RUSSE, MD (February 12, 1928-May 10, 1991) served as Dean of Rush Medical College at Rush University Medical Center and served five terms as President of The Institute of Medicine of Chicago during an extraordinary decade of personal and professional commitment to the advancement of medicine. To recognize his contributions, the Trustees of Rush University Medical Center and The Institute of Medicine of Chicago have established the Henry P. Russe, MD Citation for Exemplary Compassion in Healthcare. This ongoing award demonstrates, as Dr. Russe exemplified, that humanitarianism must characterize the practice of medicine and medical education beyond the science, technology and personal skillfulness essential in caring for the health of our fellow citizens.

The nominee(s) must be a product of Chicago, i.e., must have some past and/or present identification with the Chicago region. Nominees may come from a variety of healthcare occupations and disciplines. You are encouraged to consider the broadest range of candidates including physicians, nurses, scientists, administrators, social service workers, clergy, leaders in governmental agencies and advocacy groups, etc. They can be involved in any humanitarian allied health care pursuit or social service.
