Paul S. Rhoads Humanity in Medicine Award

Authorized as an annual event by the Reid Health Governing Board in 1983, the Humanity in Medicine Award honors the memory of Paul S. Rhoads, MD, for his service to patients and medicine.

Rhoads was the founding director of Reid's Medical Education Department and helped organize the hospice program and the Wayne County adult clinic for the indigent.

The award was developed to acknowledge Reid values, humanitarianism in medicine, and to honor special members of the medical staff.
