TESTIMONIALS
Here’s what our winners said about receiving their award:
Receiving the Cunniff-Dixon Physician Award was truly transformative for my career! It not only affirmed the importance of pediatric palliative care, but also accelerated my trajectory as a clinician, educator, and global PPC advocate. More than just recognition, it provided a powerful platform to expand the reach of our work and deepen my commitment to improving quality of life for ALL children and families everywhere.
This award is so special…I don’t want to cry…but it is one of the most special moments of my career.
