Physician Awards

Physician Awards

Each year, the Piedmont Clinic honors four members with Chairman’s Service Awards based on the Piedmont Clinic’s core values of superior service, cost-effectiveness, clinical excellence and innovation, and reliable safety.

Physician and practice nominees are vetted by a physician advisory committee, which makes award recommendations to the Piedmont Clinic Board of Directors. The honorees are recognized at a formal awards program during the Piedmont Clinic’s annual physician conference, the Summit.
