Excellence in Telehealth Award
2023 Nominations Now Being Accepted!
The first annual Dr. James Bush Award for Excellence in Telehealth was established last year to recognize a telehealth champion in Wyoming that has accomplished outstanding work in the field of telehealth, including helping to remove barriers to implementation and adoption, innovative programs and activities, technology, patient and/or provider support, education, and training. 



The first award was presented in September 2022 during last year's Telehealth Awareness Week to Kevin Smith, former Telehealth Program Manager at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. Smith retired in November 2022 after decades of tireless service in assisting individuals and organizations in Wyoming, and across the nation, in developing successful telehealth programs.

We are currently looking for telehealth champion nominations for this year's Excellence in Telehealth Award! Nominations are due on August 21, 2023
