On May 12, 2014 we honored Covidien -- a global leader in the medical supply world, with a philanthropy program that never loses sight of the local health care needs - with our annual Tim Russert award. Under the vision and guidance of Chair and CEO Joe Almeida, Covidien has partnered with us through the years with gifts of financial and volunteer support.
