The Dr. Janet W. Neslen Award - Call for Nominations
The Partnership welcomes nominations for the Dr. Janet W. Neslen Award. The Nelsen Award recognizes an individual or organization proven to be outstanding in efforts to improve access to health care in Carroll County.
Dr. Janet W. Neslen was Carroll County Health Officer from 1981 to1996, and served as Deputy Health Officer from 1996 until 2002. In addition to being a skillful and conscientious administrator, Dr. Neslen has long been a compassionate, effective advocate for uninsured and underinsured residents of Carroll County. The Neslen Award was established in 2002 by The Partnership in her honor.
Nominations may be submitted at any time. The Dr. Janet W. Neslen Award is not an annual award, but is given when a deserving recipient is identified, which may not occur every year.
To nominate an individual or organization, please complete and submit the online nomination form, or print, complete, and return the downloadable nomination form.
Supporting materials such as videos, letters, or newspaper articles are encouraged; however, items submitted in physical form can not be returned. Nominations will be reviewed by an Awards Committee consisting of representatives from Partnership Leadership Teams and Board of Directors, and past recipients. The Committee’s recommendation must be approved by the Board of Directors of The Partnership in order for the Award to be given.
The Dr. Janet W. Neslen Award recipient will be honored at We’re On Our Way, The Partnership’s annual community forum, held annually in May. To be considered for award at the next upcoming We’re On Our Way, nominations must be received by March 15. Please plan to attend We’re On Our Way to be a part of this important community recognition.
Criteria for nominations can be found in the nomination form. Please keep in mind that past recipients, Partnership staff, and Partnership Board of Directors are not eligible for nomination. If you have any questions, please contact Dorothy Fox, Director of Community Health Improvement, at 410-871-6373 or dlfox@carrollhospitalcenter.org.
