Health Care Heroes Recognition Award

Closing the Gap in Health Care, Inc. was a finalist in the Health Care Heroes Recognition Awards sponsored by the Charleston Regional Business Journal on November 29, 2007. We did not win the first place Hero award, but we were indeed proud to be a finalist in the Physician Category that included a range of outstanding physicians. Congratulations to the winner Dr. Rob Stewart for his noteworthy work in bone marrow research.

During the award ceremony as the biographical sketch of Closing the Gap in Health Care, Inc. was presented, it occurred to me that our mission may be unintentionally misunderstood. CGHC, Inc. certainly doesn’t want to send a negative message. While we do focus on diabetes, hypertension, HIV/AIDS, heart disease, and other major illnesses, the goal of CGHC, Inc. is to educate African Americans and other underserved populations about health disparities and the positive steps we can take to reduce those disparities.

We are very grateful and most honored that the Charleston Regional Business Journal recognized Closing the Gap in Health Care, Inc. as a Health Care Hero. We will continue to stay true to our mission to educate people about the health disparities of African Americans and the underserved populations.

I am Dr. Thaddeus John Bell--- Closing the Gap in Health Care.
