The Center for Healthcare Supply Chain Research, supported by a grant from Genentech, is pleased to present the Nexus Award.
The Nexus Award is the industry’s highest recognition award, honoring exceptional character, accomplishments and leadership in the industry.
Nominations are now being accepted for the 2009 Nexus Award.
The Center for Healthcare Supply Chain Research and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals honored Ken Couch, President of Smith Drug Company, with the 2008 Nexus Award for Lifetime Achievement at the recent HDMA 2008 Annual Leadership Forum in Washington, DC. The Nexus Award is the industry’s highest honor, recognizing leadership, exemplary service and professional excellence in the healthcare industry and the community.
Over the past decade, Couch has been actively involved with HDMA and the Center, serving as Chairman of the HDMA Board of Directors over the past year, and prior to that, Chairman of HDMA’s Government and Public Policy Council. He also has devoted his time to several Committees, including the Executive Committee, Federal Government Affairs Committee and Investment Committee.
The numerous accolades and awards he has received for his individual efforts and as President of Smith Drug, further demonstrate why he is the recipient of the 2008 Nexus Award.
As a business and civic leader in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Couch believes strongly in giving back to his community and to the industry. Most recently, he was awarded the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Wingate University, and The Morgan Award from The United Way of the Piedmont for his civic contributions.
“The Center and the Nexus Award supporter, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Inc., are pleased to recognize Ken for this Lifetime Achievement Award,” said Karen Ribler, Executive Vice President and COO, Center for Healthcare Supply Chain Research. “Ken truly defines the values and philosophy─leadership, exemplary community service, professional excellence and a passion for the healthcare industry and the patients we serve.”
