The Patricia E. Lane Award

HealthStream created the Patricia E. Lane Award in 2009, in honor of Patricia E. Lane. Patricia was a HealthStream System Administrator, leader of the Virginia HealthStream User Group (HUG) since its inception, and a 29-year employee of Rockingham Memorial Hospital in Harrisonburg, Virginia, who lost her life in a tragic car accident in December 2009. She touched the lives of her co-workers and many healthcare organizations from across the state of Virginia who benefited from her expertise, sage advice, and leadership.

If you know of someone within your organization or within the healthcare community that has impacted the lives of many and is passionately dedicated to healthcare education and innovation, we invite you to nominate them for the Patricia E. Lane Award.
