Policy regarding announcement of awards received by IHS employees:
The Clinical Support Center does not publish announcements listing the names of award winners, but does accept articles describing activities that have led to an award and the impact these activities have had on patient care. This allows us to provide clinically useful information to our readers while recognizing the award winner.
