Already certified by ACPE in medical management, the organization s Board of Directors honored Lazarus for demonstrating significant and enduring contributions to the field. He is only one of two physician executives from Humana to achieve this honor.
Fellowship is among the highest honors that can be bestowed on a physician.
In his nomination of Lazarus for this top honor, Humana s chief medical officer, Jonathan T. Lord, M.D. wrote, Dr. Lazarus is nationally known for his work in the managed care sector and the professional development of physicians. He neatly weaves his academic skills into the corporate environment by teaching and mentoring quite naturally. He also has contributed to enhancing the organizational effectiveness and performance of Humana s medical leadership. Since the program s inception in 1980, Lazarus joins only 400 other physician executives nationwide to receive the ACPE Fellowship . Humana Inc., headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, is one of the nation s largest publicly traded health services companies, with approximately 5.4 million medical members located primarily in 15 states and Puerto Rico.
