Unfortunately, because of the threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, HJF made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 HMM Awards Dinner. 

We thank all of our sponsors for supporting HJF’s mission to advance military medicine. This generous support also enables HJF to enhance the efforts of our DoD research partners in a variety of ways, including improving COVID-19 diagnostics, developing vaccines, and identifying life-saving therapeutics.

HJF looks forward to honoring the lifesaving work of military medical heroes in May of 2021, and we thank you for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support of our military medical community.

The Heroes of Military Medicine (HMM) Awards honor outstanding contributions by individuals who demonstrate excellence and selfless dedication to advance military medicine and enhance the lives and health of our nation’s wounded, ill and injured service members, veterans, and civilians.

HJF presents the awards, which honor three active duty military medical professionals from the Army, Navy and Air Force, nominated by The Offices of the Surgeon General. Final honorees are chosen by the HMM Advisory Committee comprised primarily of former Surgeons General. In addition, HJF will present the Hero of Military Medicine Ambassador Award and Hero of Military Medicine Senior Leader Award.

HJF's 10th anniversary Heroes of Military Medicine Awards will be held on May 7th, 2020 at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium in Washington, DC, emceed by Jennifer Griffin, National Security Correspondent at Fox News.
