About the Hewlett Award

The Artist

Kenneth L. Melmon, MD, chairman of the Department of Medicine from 1978-1984, appointed Agnese Udinotti to create the actual award. Together, they designed the award. A sculpture portrays man, isolated at first by his disease, and then brought back into society through the intervention of the physician. Udinotti has received numerous awards throughout the United States and Europe.

Award Presentation

The award is presented in concert with a major event in the Department of Medicine, at which time the recipient is invited to lecture. Honored physicians receive a parchment seal depicting several figures from the Udinotti sculpture and a silver medallion made from the seal. The award holder has the opportunity to select books or journals for the Hewlett Library in an amount to be determined each year. Each book will bear a bookplate with a picture of the award, the recipient's name, and the date when the award was presented. The awardee is selected by a committee of past recipients.

The Award was created by artist Agnese Udinotti
