CEO honored in 'Celebration of Excellence'

Gene Robinson, President and CEO of IMS, was honored recently by U.S. Representative Artur Davis with the Celebration of Excellence award. This recognition is to highlight the groundbreaking work in the world of medicine on behalf of Alabama's Black Belt. The award ceremony was held in Washington, D.C. during the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference.

Robinson was recognized for his development of Instruments of Mercy. The non-profit organization has partnered with Birmingham-area hospitals to supply much needed medical equipment to Alabama's Black Belt. Facilities in these under-funded communities benefited greatly from this organization and from Robinson's vision to assist those in need.

Congressman Davis said, "This event gives us a chance to recognize people who are doing tremendous work in our community, but who may never receive the type of recognition they deserve."
