6 Fresh on the heels of a more than year-long effort to help combat the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command’s Lt. Col. Michelle Colacicco-Mayhugh was honored as a 2021 Hero of Military Medicine award winner on May 6 at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. The award, which recognizes outstanding contributions by individuals dedicated to advancing the ideals and reach of military medicine, is presented annually by the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc.
Calling the award a “tremendous honor” in her brief remarks to the small, select in-person audience – in addition to the hundreds in attendance online, viewing virtually – Colacicco-Mayhugh was quick to thank her coworkers, teammates and USAMRDC leadership for their respective roles in helping her achieve such a substantial accomplishment.
