Dr. Erno S. Daniel Legacy Award
Erno S. Daniel, MD, PhD was a renowned physician who spent his entire professional career at Sansum Clinic. He joined
the Internal Medicine department in 1978 and practiced there until his sudden death on February 21, 2015.
Martha Daniel and their children Kristina, Michael, Mary and Monica were touched
by the outpouring of support from family, friends, colleagues, the medical staff and patients. Knowing how much Sansum Clinic meant to Erno, it was the family’s decision to request that gifts in his memory be directed to the Clinic. The family wanted
something very special to commemorate Dr. Daniel’s commitment, dedication, and integrity, and with the memorial funds raised the Dr. Erno S. Daniel Legacy Award was established. This award is given annually
to an employee in the Internal Medicine department at Pesetas who exemplifies compassion, dedication, and integrity.
