Awards
Lee Suszycki and Judy Midelfort Memorial Awards
Lee Suszycki was the founder and first president of our Society. She was passionate about many things, including education, writing, publication, social work and transplantation. The Society for Transplant Social Workers is a direct outgrowth of her vision for social workers practicing in transplantation.
Judy Midelfort was a founding member of the Society, one of the first to publish on psychosocial issues in transplantation and a strong supporter of professional growth and education.
In honor of both Lee and Judy and their dedication to our Society, two memorial awards have been established. These are presented at each annual conference to two members of the Society who have made significant contributions to the field of social work in transplantation. Contributions include, but are not limited to, publishing, public speaking, research projects or developing new tools or programs. Nominations should be forwarded to the President and should include a brief statement describing the nominee's contributions to the field.
