Registration deadline:
January 8, 2010
Mark your calendars for AMWA Southwest's 2010 John P. McGovern Award Banquet and Lecture, to be held Saturday, January 16, 2010, at the Holiday Inn Houston South Loop.
Receiving the chapter's 2010 McGovern Award will be stage and screen actress Megan Cole, known nationally for her workshops on empathic physician/patient communication and for her numerous public presentations on the human face of medicine for health care and end-of-life care organizations
Ms. Cole, who originated the leading role in Margaret Edson's Pulitzer Prizewinning drama "Wit" in 1995, is Artist-in-Residence at the John P. McGovern, M.D. Center for Health, Humanities, and the Human Spirit at The University of Texas-Houston Health Science Center.
Ms. Cole's McGovern Award Lecture will be "For the Love of Words: A Medical Writer's Story on Stage," in which she will recount her research into the influential life and career of Mayo Clinic medical editor Maud Mellish Wilson and present excerpts from the resulting stage play.
"Maud Wilson's story is most importantly a story about her love and care for words simply and accurately conveyed," says Ms. Cole.
The banquet will begin with a reception at 6:30 p.m., with complimentary hors d'oeuvres, beer, and wine. Dinner will begin at 7:15 p.m. and the lecture at 8:00 p.m. The registration fee for the banquet is $33 for members and $38 for nonmembers.
