The Dr. Charles H. Hudson Award for Cardiopulmonary Public Health recognizes efforts to positively influence the public's awareness of cardiopulmonary health and wellness. The award is funded by an endowment from Hudson Respiratory Care, Inc., formerly Hudson Oxygen Therapy Sales Company, and was established in 1986 in honor of the company's founder, Charles H. Hudson, DDS. Nominees may include individuals, groups, or organizations whose primary effort has promoted cardiopulmonary health and wellness. Nominees may submit any supporting documentation and, in the case of an individual, a curriculum vitae, if available. Nominations will be accepted at any time; however, the deadline for receiving nominations in the ARCF office is June 1. Please visit the award's website or contact the American Respiratory Care Foundation for more information.
