History of the Award
This award was previously known to the Minnesota Medical Association as the MMA Foundation Physician Volunteerism Award which recognizes MMA members who are physician volunteers and who go above and beyond to help address the health care needs of underserved populations in Minnesota.
The Copic Humanitarian Award was established in 2001 in memory of Harold E. “Hal” Williamson. Hal was one of the first non-physician board members of Copic. His inspiration and his dedication to going above and beyond led to the establishment of the Copic Medical Foundation. Today, the MMA Foundation Physician Volunteerism Award and the Copic Humanitarian Award come together to form the Copic/MMA Foundation Humanitarian Award.
