Emeryville, Calif. [September 14, 2026] — Vituity is proud to announce the recipients of the 2026 Dr. Wes Curry Community Impact Awards, recognizing four healthcare leaders whose dedicated work is helping strengthen communities, advance health equity, and shape the future of medicine.
This year’s recipients include Dania Goodin, MD; Jennah Morgan, MD; Kameron Leigh Matthews, MD, JD, FAAFP; and John E. Lewis, Jr., MD, MS, FACEP. They will be celebrated at the 2026 Wes Curry Community Impact Summit on October 6th in Chicago, Illinois, held during the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) Scientific Assembly.
Named in honor of emergency medicine pioneer Dr. Wes Curry, the awards recognize clinicians and healthcare leaders who exemplify leadership, collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to creating meaningful impact in the communities they serve. Dr. Curry dedicated his career to improving patient care, fostering collaboration, and mentoring future generations of healthcare leaders. The 2026 recipients carry that legacy forward through work spanning health equity, medical education, community engagement, health literacy, and care delivery.
“Each of this year’s recipients demonstrates what it means to turn leadership into meaningful impact,” said Javay Walton, Vice President of Community Impact, Vituity. “Their work reaches far beyond the walls of a hospital or health system and strengthens communities, creates opportunities for the next generation of clinicians, and builds a more equitable and connected healthcare system.
