The American College of Health Care Administrators National Awards.

Nursing Homes/Long Term Care Management wants to give full acknowledgment--and thanks--for the Journalism Award presented to Editor Richard L. Peck this May by the American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHCA). He has already alluded to it in "The Best Speech I Never Gave" (see Editorial

in July Buyers Guide, p. 4), but has asked that we list other recipients of the ACHCA 2001-02 National Awards.

They were:

* W. Bruce Glass, Executive Director, Deutsches Altenheim-German Centre, West Roxbury, Massachusetts: Distinguished Administrator Award

* Sharon K. Colling, Administrator, Belle Terrace, Tecumseh, Nebraska: New Administrator Award

* P.K. Beville, President, Geriatric Specialist, Marietta, Georgia: Public Service Award

* Judith A. Passerini, Deputy Secretary, Catholic Health Care Services, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Ross Laboratories Award for Distinguished Service to ACHCA

* Ellen Binder, MD, Professor, Washington University Medical School, St. Louis, Missouri: SCA Hygiene Products Long-Term Care Research Award (ACHCA Foundation National Award)

The publishers of Nursing Homes/Long Term Care Management appreciate this distinguished recognition by the College.
