Named for the society’s two founders, the award is presented to a phy- sician who embodies the spirit of those physicians — someone who has made significant contributions to the field of gastro- enterology. Bruce Levy, MD, of Austin, received the Patient Advocate Award, which goes to a society member who shows tireless efforts to provide access to medical care to patients.
