The Golden Stethoscope Award is a result of nominations from employees and presented semi-annually to a physician who exhibits an exceptional level of professionalism, integrity, and teamwork in caring for patients and families, as well as interacting with hospital staff members and fellow physicians. 

The award is presented to one physician throughout BRMC, OGH, and physician practices who meets the high standard of providing high quality patient care.
