The number of nominations and quality of the work submitted for this year’s HITMC Awards, sponsored by Medigy, was simply incredible. The response exceeded all expectations.

In each category, the Awards Committee had to carefully sift through multiple nominations. It was not an easy task for them to choose the Awards finalists, but after careful consideration they came up with the following short list.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination.

Here are the Finalists for the 2019 Medigy HITMC Awards (finalists shown in alphabetic order)

Individual – Patient Advocate of the Year

  • Barby Ingle. She creates original content, shares her story effectively, studies & shares about helpful health tools to better care for chronic patients. She is original, creative, vol patient advocate, makes a difference, creates awareness, great at branding, a go-getter & cheerleader of HOPE
  • Geri Lynn Baumblatt. Geri is a champion for family caregivers – the unsung heroes of healthcare who often shoulder the physical, financial, and emotional burden of care without any support. Geri is working hard to bring attention to the plight of caregivers so that programs can be created to help them as they take time away from work and give up their lives to care for a loved one.
  • Grace Cordovano. Grace works tirelessly to keep the patient advocate voice strong in Health IT and healthcare conferences. She is frequently seen on panels, on Tweet chats and education events to maintain the voice of patients and fight for their rights to their data, to a better experience, to compassion and empathy within the health care journey. Grace always pushes people to always consider the patient perspective. She is a realist, genuine, inspiring, and creative.
