Cape Fear honors trio for work ethic, character

By Staff Report, posted 4 years ago

Cape Fear Valley Health recognized three of their medical staff with awards this month due to their work ethic and character. 
The medical institution recognizes outstanding members of their staff once per quarter. 
The recipients are as follows: Physician of the Quarter David Stewart, M.D., P.A.; Resident of the Quarter Ryan Huttinger, D.O.; and Advanced Practice Provider (APP) of the Quarter Meaghan Eddy, FNP-C. 
Dr. Stewart’s nomination was inspired by the care and compassion that he and his staff offered patients while fighting COVID-19 on the frontlines. In particular, the hospital noted that Stewart encouraged and aided patients in the vaccination process. 
Dr. Huttinger, a third-year General Surgery resident, was qualified to receive the honor because of his ability to instruct junior residents and medical students in general surgery. Huttinger is also a member of the Harm Event Analysis Team and an active participant in the health system’s other initiatives and programs. 
Eddy was nominated for her thorough and hard work to serve her patients and fellow staff. because she is a diligent, hard worker who cares immensely about her patients and coworkers. In particular, her nomination recalled that she would volunteer to help the medical staff and cover extra calls of her own volition. 
Awards were presented on May 3, and the recipients will be considered for an annual story that will be awarded on Doctor’s Day. 
All of the awards are sponsored by The Caduceus Society of Cape Fear Valley Health Foundation, a leadership association of Cape Fear Valley Health Physicians, Emeritus Physicians and affiliated area physicians.
