The award is presented to programs that have made great strides in palliative and end-of-life care. The MICU was recognized for its outstanding program of caring for patients near the end of life or with life-threatening conditions and was one of only ten organizations from across the country to be recognized.

He is currently a senior editor for the Journal of Critical Care and has authored numerous articles and book chapters in the field of critical care medicine.
