Dr. Joann Elmore, professor, is the 2017 recipient of the John M. Eisenberg National Award for Career Achievement in Research from the Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM).

Campaign, memorial contributions from Dr. Eisenberg’s colleagues and friends, and the Hess Foundation. This award will be presented to her at the 2017 SGIM Annual Meeting on Thursday, April 21.
