Carma Hanson, Coordinator for SafeKids Grand Forks of Altru Health System, was recognized during the North Dakota Medical Association’s (NDMA) Annual Meeting for being the 2023 recipient of the Friend of Medicine Award.
Each year NDMA honors an outstanding individual for serving as an effective advocate for health care and patient services in North Dakota.
Hanson was a strong advocate for the passage of the primary seat belt law, which passed just this year. As a result she was given an honor roll and appreciation award by the Vision Zero conference team in May of this year.
Hanson began her career in 1989 as a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurse at Altru Health in Grand Forks.
NDMA created the Friend of Medicine Award in 1999.
