Dr. Cortese will be honored on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at an award event and recognition dinner at The Millennium Knickerbocker in Chicago that is being held in conjunction with NCHL's Invitational Symposium earlier that day. Dr. Cortese will be presented with an original glass sculpture by Czech-born artist Martin Rosol.

Priselac, president and CEO of Cedars-Sinai Health System and co-chair of the National Healthcare Leadership Award selection committee, praised Dr. Cortese's commitment to improving the nation's health.

"The selection committee was honored to identify Dr. Cortese as this year's recipient and recognize his role as a forward thinking leader in national healthcare reform."
