Outstanding Community Impact Award

RSNA's Outstanding Community Impact Award will recognize and celebrate an individual in the radiologic sciences who has made exceptional contributions to patient care and health care delivery through service to the community.

The Outstanding Community Impact Award will be presented each year to one individual at the RSNA annual meeting.

To be considered, individuals should submit the nomination form highlighting their measurable and sustainable impact to their communities through an initiative or partnership they created or through a history of efforts in enhancing patient care and health care delivery.
