Every day in healthcare, there are moments where physicians are truly making a difference. From dedicating time to underserved patients to playing a role in filling the gaps in rural healthcare, there are thousands of stories that demonstrate how one person can change the lives of many.                                

Copic wants to recognize these physicians and give back to their local communities through the Copic Humanitarian Award. The award was established in 2001 in memory of Harold E. “Hal” Williamson. Hal was one of the first non-physician board members of Copic. His inspiration and his dedication to going above and beyond led to the establishment of the Copic Medical Foundation. And today, we are thrilled to collaborate with state medical associations/societies in offering this award.

The Copic Humanitarian Award is presented annually to honor a physician for volunteer medical services and contributions to their community. We specifically look to recognize those individuals who unassumingly volunteer outside the spectrum of their day-to-day lives. The recipient of the award designates a $10,000 donation from Copic to be provided to a health care-related 501(c)(3) organization within their respective state. If you know a worthy candidate, please nominate him or her for this award.
