Dr. Sara Mazzoni

Mazzoni will be presented with the award at the 2019 UAB School of Medicine’s annual White Coat Ceremony on Aug. 18.

Founded in 2015, the Brewer-Heslin Award recognizes those who exhibit excellence in patient care and is named for the late Alabama Governor Albert P. Brewer and UAB Medicine’s Chief of the Medical Staff Martin J. Heslin, M.D., who is also a professor in the Division of Surgical Oncology, as well as the executive vice-chair of the Department of Surgery. Brewer made the gift for the endowment in appreciation of the professionalism he observed and admired in Heslin, who had been his surgeon.
