THE 2010 MARS QUALITY CARE AWARD
The Mars Quality Care Award, established by the Mars family, honors a healthcare professional, affiliated with Sibley, whose work is helping and supporting those battling cancer.
The recipient of the 2010 award was Robert L. Sloan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sibley since 1985, in recognition of outstanding achievements in raising awareness of cancer care and cure. That Sibley has emerged as a leader in the field and that it remains at the forefront of cancer cure throughout the Washington metropolitan area is a testament to his vision and leadership.
