2010 Roger C. Bone Award for Advances in End-of-Life Care
The Roger C. Bone Advances in End-of-Life Care Award was created in 2000 to recognize an ACCP member who demonstrates outstanding leadership in end-of-life care. This award honors the late Roger C. Bone, MD, Master FCCP, who wrote about the ethical and humanistic issues surrounding end-of-life decisions and stressed the importance of communication among physicians and their patients. This award is not for research or to provide seed money for a new end-of-life care project, but instead focuses on leadership in end-of-life care on the international, national, or local level.
