Press release from Mission Health:
Mission Health held the 2019 Spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards Thursday at the Mission Health A-B Tech Conference Center. These awards are given to celebrate diversity and inclusion in healthcare and honored the nominees and recipients.
The 2019 winners were Tracey Harper for Workplace Excellence and Lori Wagner, MD, for Community Impact. Harper is a Guest Services Specialist at Mission Hospital and Dr. Wagner is an Endocrinologist at Mission Children’s Hospital.
The Spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards are given annually to Mission Health team members who have been nominated by their peers or leaders for their ability to overcome barriers that separate human beings and who see diversity as an opportunity rather than an obstacle to impact change. The award celebrates diversity in healthcare and the people who carry on the spirit, leadership and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and influence unity, equality, equity and justice in both the workplace and their communities.
