Beverly, Mass. - Northeast Health System recently announced Beverly resident Tina Waugh, M.D., as the 2010 recipient of the Dr. Philip D. Herrick Award, which honors one staff physician each year for his or her leadership, outstanding medical care and community service.

The Herrick Award honors characteristics that Herrick has exemplified during his more than 50 years associated with the organization, including a commitment to community service, a dedication to NHS hospitals, continued professional growth and accomplishments, and the ability to inspire others in the medical community.

Waugh joined the Beverly Hospital family residency program after graduating from Boston University School of Medicine. She currently serves as the president of Family Medicine Associates, PC, a busy family practice group in Beverly.

"We are successful because we practice highly personalized care and service … and Dr. Waugh represents the best of the past, present and future of Northeast Health System," said Herrick during the award presentation.

During her 10 years as a member of the medical staff at Beverly and Addison Gilbert hospitals, Waugh has been actively engaged in working with her physician colleagues and the hospitals to improve the quality of care for patients and their families.

She currently participates on the hospital's StAAR committee, charged with identifying and implementing ways to improve the patient transition from the inpatient to the outpatient and home settings, and the Medical Advisory Panel, tackling obstacles to best business practices between the hospital and physicians.

"Dr. Waugh embodies all of the characteristics that we look for when selecting the Herrick Award recipient," said Nancy Palmer, chairwoman of the Northeast Hospital Corporation Board of Trustees. "She was the unanimous choice of our selection committee because of her dedication to patients, leadership and commitment to our hospital system."

This is the seventh year that NHS has presented the award. Past recipients include: doctors Michael Arsenian, Ronald Newman, Donald Romanelli, Hugh Taylor, Tai Tran and Lucas Wolf.

Herrick presented the Herrick Award to Waugh on Jan. 11 at the Northeast Health System Annual Meeting.
