On October 1, 2009, Health & Medicine hosted our 2009 HMPRG Awards Event at Prairie Production in Chicago. Over 140 people came together to celebrate the 2009 winners  who inspire us and set the benchmark for us all!  We also inagurated two new awards showcasing young health justice leaders.

It was a great celebration of visionary leaders and a true convergence of committed health system reformers!
