Mark Boucot, President and CEO of GRMC and Potomac Valley Hospital, was recently presented with the American Hospital Association (AHA) Grassroots Champion Award for Maryland at the Maryland Hospital Association's Annual Reception. Each year the AHA recognizes one hospital leader in each state who most effectively educates state and national elected officials on major issues affecting hospitals’ vital role in the community, who have done an exemplary job broadening community support for their hospital, and who are tireless advocates for hospitals and their patients. In presenting him the esteemed award, the AHA noted Boucot’s tireless advocacy for national legislation making it a felony to attack healthcare workers on the job. In February of this year, he traveled to Washington, DC, to testify at a briefing on Capitol Hill regarding the Safety from Violence for Healthcare Employees (SAVE) Act. The AHA and American College of Emergency Physicians cohosted the briefing. The AHA represents nearly 5,000 hospitals and health care systems as well as 43,000 individual members who work in the healthcare industry. AHA is active in addressing national health policy development and legislative and regulatory issues. It also monitors judicial matters that may impact healthcare. Join us in congratulating Mark on receiving this prestigious award!
