Weinbaum & Baur Awards

The Weinbaum and Baur Awards, presented to two recipients annually, are the most prestigious honors given by Union Hospital Foundation.

The Weinbaum Award was established by the Union Hospital Foundation to recognize distinguished contributions to Union Hospital and its mission by a member of the medical and dental staff. It is named for Dr. Jack Weinbaum, an outstanding physician who made an important difference in Union Hospital's ability to meet the needs of its patients during his 33 year tenure.

 

The Weinbaum Award is presented to a member of the medical staff of Union Hospital or Union Hospital Clinton who has provided outstanding service to the practice of medicine at either hospital as demonstrated by leadership to establish innovative or new services, leadership to improve the quality of care provided to patients of the hospital, and leadership to provide education to the medical and dental staff or hospital personnel.

The Baur Award was established by the Union Hospital Foundation to recognize exceptional leadership and contributions by persons who serve as an employee or a volunteer of the Union Hospital Health Group.  The award is named for Sister Johanna Baur who served as the first head nurse and the first superintendent of Union Hospital.   

The Baur Award is given to a person who serves in one of these roles who has provided outstanding service as evidenced by contribution of time and expertise to improve patient care or other aspects of the hospital's service to their respective communities, contributions to establish new programs or services and leadership of the operations and management of Union Hospital.
