Barry Joyner, Ph.D., dean of the Waters College of Health Professions, was named by the Georgia Medical Society as the recipient of the Health Care Hero Award in the Health Care Education category during the 19th annual Health Care Heroes Awards. 

The award recognizes individuals and organizations for their involvement in making health care better in the community by conducting or sponsoring educational activities that improve quality of life.

“While it is an honor to receive this award, it’s a true representation of the ongoing effort the Waters College of Health Professions is making in preparing students for their future roles in health care,” stated Joyner. “Additionally, the award demonstrates the college’s value of not only serving the community but continuing to provide opportunities for our students to work in collaboration with the community.”
