Congratulations to Rana Awdish, M.D., the recipient of the 2017 National Compassionate Caregiver of the Year presented by the Schwartz Center at its annual dinner November 16. Dr. Awdish is a critical care medicine physician and director of the Pulmonary Hypertension Program at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. She has written and spoken nationally about her experiences as a patient in her own institution when she suffered a serious illness, and has used her perspective as a patient and physician to address gaps in patient-caregiver relationship.
