Eileen Frazer SPARK Award
Igniting the Future of the Industry

 
Purpose of the Award

The Eileen Frazer Spark Award celebrates bold vision and transformative thinking in out-of-hospital patient care. It honors an emerging leader—either early in their career or just beginning their influence—who presents a compelling idea, project, or initiative with the potential to reshape the industry landscape, much like Eileen’s vision in founding and launching CAMTS paved the way for standards for the industry to aspire to.
