Celebrating Dr. Jerry Zimmerman's Career

The illustrious Dr. Jerry Zimmerman, MD, PhD, MCCM, is retiring after a long and legendary career and we are hoping to send him off in style!

Among his many titles - Professor of Pediatrics, former Division Chief of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, past president of the Society of Critical Care Medicine, founding member of PALISI, prolific NIH investigator, author of THE book on pediatric critical care - most of us know Jerry best as a colleague, collaborator, mentor, teacher, and friend.

To honor Jerry's career, we are raising funds for a send-off celebration and to establish the annual Jerry J. Zimmerman Pediatric Critical Care Research Award, to be granted annually to a trainee, early stage investigator, advanced practice provider, nurse, respiratory therapist, or pharmacist who embodies the qualities we love most about Jerry - innovation, leadership by example, inquisitive spirit, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The scope of the award is dependent on our fundraising success - we deeply appreciate your contribution!
