University of Dayton and Miami Valley Hospital Healthcare Symposium
Awards
Two annual awards were inaugurated during the 2022 UD & Miami Valley Hospital Healthcare Symposium to recognize a local healthcare professional and a pre-health professional student who have positively impacted our community through their work.
