"We are proud to recognize Dr. Kremer as the winner of our new Excellence in Human Understanding award for his dedication and commitment to going the extra mile in demonstrating human understanding with patients and healthcare consumers in the JPS Health Network community," said Helen Hrdy, Chief Growth Officer at NRC Health. "This rings especially true during the ongoing pandemic and the challenges the industry is currently facing. Dr. Kremer continues to inspire us even in the face of uncertainty and we are thrilled to honor him with this award for his outstanding contributions to improving the patient experience."
