2024 Paul S. Rhoads Humanity in Medicine Award Recipient

Problem-solving comes naturally for the 2024 Paul S. Rhoads Humanity in Medicine Award recipient.

As a self-proclaimed fix-it person, Tom Grayson, MD, can look at a problem, consider the solutions, and make repairs. As a provider, he’s guided by the Golden Rule to treat others how he would want to be treated.

He takes his responsibility as a general surgeon seriously, valuing the trust his patients have in him. It’s his practice to stay as long as needed with patients to provide education and their options.

The compassion he shows to others, sensitivity to their needs, and the demonstration of a caring attitude to patients, families, and colleagues are a few of the reasons why he’s been selected as the 44th recipient of the Paul S. Rhoads Humanity in Medicine Award.
