Congratulations to these outstanding Members for their contributions and for Making an IMpact
Each year, nominations detailing our members’ accomplishments and activities deserving consideration are accepted by the ACOI and selections are made by the ACOI Honors and Awards committee based on specific criteria for each award. This year three award winners will be honored at #ACOI2022 during the Annual Fellows Convocation.
The award winners are:
David Hitzeman DO, MACOI – Distinguished Service Award
