In June of 2003, the Kentucky Rural Health Association began an award honoring a lifetime contribution to rural health in Kentucky. The first recipient was Dr. Dan Martin of the Trover Foundation in Madisonville. The annual award now bears his name and is given each year to an individual who has provided many years of service to rural Kentuckians. Last year’s recipient was Joseph E. Smith of the Kentucky Primary Care Association.
KRHA is seeking nominations for this year's award. The nominee’s contributions might be in direct patient care, health professions education, health administration, health promotion or public advocacy.

The award committee ranks the candidates using established criteria and makes a recommendation to the KRHA Executive Committee, which selects the honoree, if someone is deemed appropriate. The award will be presented at the KRHA annual conference Aug. 25-26 in Bowling Green. Any KRHA member who would like to serve on the Dan Martin Award Committee should email linda.asher@uky.edu.
