The President’s Award, presented by the president of the institution, pays tribute to individuals and organizations whose support of National Jewish Health has furthered the institution’s mission and vision.
The President’s Award is symbolized in a beautiful sculpture by Joel Mosko, MD, (1912-1994). The sculpture is entitled “Romeo and Juliet” and represents living life with energy, enthusiasm, humility and compassion. It is a tribute to the passionate pursuit of one’s work.
