Each year, UNC Hospitals & UNC Faculty Physicians celebrate the empathy and expertise of our physicians and advanced practice providers. Congratulations to this year’s honorees of the 2024 UNC Hospitals & UNC Faculty Physicians Award for Carolina Care Excellence, named below.

UNC Hospitals administers the Press Ganey Medical Practice survey to solicit feedback from our patients about their likelihood of recommending their provider’s practice to their friends and family. For this year’s survey window, 205 of our providers received the highest recommendations, which places them in the top quartile nationally.

We celebrate these physicians and advanced practice providers for helping to create an exceptional experience for our patients.
