This honor is awarded to hospitalists — physicians specializing in the care of hospitalized patients — who are making significant contributions to the medical field through their innovation, leadership and clinical skills. The award also considers contributions in the areas of patient safety, community involvement and quality improvement.
Dr. Morris, a resident of Guilford, received her bachelor's degree from Princeton University and her medical degree at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

"The award is well-deserved," noted Peter Herbert, YNHH chief of staff. "Dr. Morris is a highly skilled and extremely caring physician who is applauded by her peers, patients and students alike. Her exceptional dedication to her work, our hospital and our patients made her an outstanding choice for this wonderful accolade."
