Annual Provider Recognition Program

In an effort to acknowledge the vital role our medical staff members play in the success of Piedmont Columbus Regional, a yearly Physician Recognition Award Program was established in 2014. The program recognizes a Physician of the Year in three categories – Leadership, Clinical Care and Teaching.

The Physicians of the Year will be recognized at our Annual Physician Recognition Reception on April 25, 2024.

Any medical staff member, patient, family, board member or Piedmont Columbus Regional employee may nominate a physician. To NOMINATE someone, please complete the form below or email Anne.Brown@piedmont.org.
