The Ellen Bailey "Share the Light" award is given in honor of a founding member of the Coalition whose quiet, unwavering leadership was centered on clinical excellence, service to the profession and dedication to quality patient care.


Today, our organization is pleased to keep "sharing the light" by pairing the honor of the award with a $500 gift to be given to the charity of the honoree's choice.
