Kinlaw Honored with Inaugural Award
In an surprise announcement Kathy Kinlaw--Executive Director for the Health Care Ethics Consortium of Georgia--was honored with presentation of the first Heroes in Healthcare Ethics Award.
Kinlaw is credited with the initially development of the Health Care Ethics Consortium of Georgia in the early 1990’s. Her work with health care organizations across Georgia and their ethics committees has made her a frequently sought-after speaker and presenter. She is also recognized for her work to further bioethics education for medical students, especially those at Emory University School of Medicine.
Kinlaw was presented with a glass sculpture from Fräbel Studio of Atlanta that was commissioned by HCECG and designed is such a way to suggest holding ethics to the highest standard. The curvature of the three supporting glass rods holding the blue sphere represents the achievement of this highest standard.
The Heroes in Health Care Ethics Award is an annual award to be given to an individual or group associated with an HCECG member organization in recognition of exemplary achievements in the field of health care ethics. The award is underwritten by a gift from King and Spalding.
