Each month, the John S. Francis Spotlight Award is awarded by members of the Gold Humanism Honor Society to an outstanding Medical Partnership student who works to make our community better. Created in honor of Associate Dean Dr. John S. Francis, this award recognizes the kindness, altruism, and love for our school demonstrated by each awardee. Students are nominated by their peers and faculty members through the Motivational Monday program and selected by a panel of GHHS members based on their accomplishments and impact on our community. The Spotlight Award was recently featured in this article, where members of the GHHS discuss the motivations behind creating this award.
