Excellence in Care

Congratulations to Kathryn L. Hassell, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of the University of Colorado Sickle Cell Treatment and Research Center, winner of the Excellence in Care Award.

Since her appointment to the faculty at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in 1991, Dr. Hassell has played an influential role in establishing the University's current national prominence in sickle cell disease and coagulation and vascular disorders. She has also been selected as one of Denver's "Top Doctors" for the magazine "5280" every year since 2002, based on a survey of health professionals asked to select which physician to whom they would refer family members or friends. Generous not only with her time, Dr. Hassell also contributes monies earned by legal expert work to the Sickle Cell Center, which has allowed the Center to provide support to patients and their families for unmet needs.
