Nominate an outstanding respiratory therapist for The PHIL Award!
Each year, Overlake Medical Center & Clinics proudly presents The PHIL Award (Pulmonary Health and Illnesses of the Lungs) to a respiratory therapist who has provided outstanding care and treatment to patients with pulmonary illnesses. The PHIL Award is the only nationally recognized hospital-based program that honors and recognizes respiratory therapists as nominated by patients, their family members, and other caregivers. The award was created in 2006 by Sharman Lamka in memory of Philip C. Lamka, who passed away due to complications from an interstitial lung disease.
Nominating a Respiratory Therapist
The PHIL Award will be given annually to one respiratory therapist, who has been nominated on the basis of professional excellence and compassion in the education and care of patients with pulmonary illness. Respiratory therapists may be nominated for the award by patients and their family members, visitors, and other caregivers.
