Leadership in Healthcare Award

BGMS' motto (it's written in our By-Laws!) is Leadership in Healthcare. The first award (2019) was presented to Dr. Phillip Filbrandt for his leadership of the Butte Glenn Opioid Safety Coalition over the Years. The 2020 award went to Dr. Richard Thorp for his decades-long leadership as CMA President, BGMS President and so much more.

BGMS' 2021 Leadership in Healthcare Award was presented to Dr. Sean Liston, who deserves recognition for his outstanding work as President of BGMS from 2016-2018 and now as President of Healthy Rural California. He serves in leadership roles at CMA, and previously with the AMA. We thank Dr. Liston for his continual service
