Continence Care Champions
CONTINENCE CARE CHAMPIONs
Established in 2000 to recognize healthcare providers who excel in the area of diagnosis, treatment, and management, the Continence Care Champion award raises awareness and elevates the importance of addressing incontinence in clinical practice. This award recognizes an outstanding clinic or individual on the basis of contributions to research, clinical practice standards, and education in the field of incontinence.
For awards presented to members of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the process is open nationwide such that practitioners and patients alike may nominate a candidate who is subsequently chosen by a specially selected group from the NAFC Board of Directors. Otherwise, individuals are nominated by members of the society and representatives of NAFC’s Board of Directors then select an award recipient.
In 2009, the Continence Care Champion award was renamed the Rodney Appell Continence Care Champion Award in memory of Rodney Appell, MD.
