- The 2006 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 annually recognize members of the American College of Chest Physicians who have demonstrated 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. Dr. Bone was a Master Fellow and Past President of the College. The purpose of this award is to recognize a physician whose project/service has shown improved communication, compassion, and effective listening between themselves and their patients and families, support of palliative and hospice care, and/or teaching other physicians. This award is not for research or to provide seed money for a new end-of-life or palliative care program or project, but instead focuses on leadership in end-of-life care, either on the international, national or local level.
