2005 Annual Meeting Features House Call Awards

Bruce Grau, GNP from Indianapolis, Indiana, won the House Call Clinician of the Year Award this year. Dr. Bayne introduced him at the AAHCP Annual Scientific Meeting by quoting Dr. Robin Beck who nominated him. Dr. Beck had commended the nominee for his role in developing the house call program, but more than that for his excellence as a nurse practitioner dedicated to frail elder adults and to house calls. He said, "Bruce has been a great partner and I know I can trust him to make the right decisions for our patients."

Dr. Lori Reaves from southern New Jersey won the House Call Doctor of the Year Award. Dr. Bayne introduced her by quoting from her nominator's description of her care and concern for patients, and her success in building a large house call program despite many obstacles. Dr. Reaves then spoke and thanked the Academy for the honor and pointed out that she couldn't have done it without her incredible team.

Bruce Grau spoke as well and echoed Dr. Reaves' comments regarding the true team effort that this work entails. He also thanked Dr. Robin Beck for "taking the team where no one has gone before".
