How to Nominate Your Unsung Hero

MCN Seeks 2010 Unsung Hero

The Migrant Clinicians Networks wants to honor your unsung hero!

MCN is the nation's oldest and largest network dedicated to the mobile underserved and it wants to honor a clinician in the field of Migrant Health. Last year, we honored James "Curtis" Edwards, Community Health Care. Inc., Bridgeton, New Jersey. As a community leader, Curtis demonstrates the power of asking others to take a stake, and collaborate in reaching farmworkers and other underserved individuals.

Since 1991, MCN has recognized healthcare workers dedicated to those most in need. Nominees are distinguished by their demonstrated dedication to migrant health. Qualifications may include innovation to service delivery or prevention strategies. Other attributes may include their leadership skills or contributions to quality healthcare.

The Migrants Clinician Network is in a unique position to look nationwide, to honor someone from your community. The unsung hero will receive an all expenses paid trip to the National Summit of Clinicians for Healthcare Justice in Washington, DC, September 23-25, 2010. MCN will present the award in front of a professional audience of clinical peers.

Please submit the name of your Unsung Hero for consideration with a simple paragraph describing the nominee and why they embody the characteristics of the "2010 Unsung Hero Award.".
