Lucille P. Craft

LUCILLE P. CRAFT AWARD

Lucille P. Craft was instrumental in the founding of the West Virginia Chapter of the Healthcare Financial Management Association, then known as the American Association of Hospital Accountants. As one of the seventeen charter members, Mrs. Craft served as Chapter President in 1954, the year the charter was granted, and again in 1964. After her retirement, Mrs. Craft continued for many years as permanent secretary to the West Virginia Chapter.

In addition to being the recipient of the Follmer Bronze, Reeves Silver and Muncie Gold founders merit awards, Mrs. Craft was awarded the Founders Merit of Honor for outstanding service to the Chapter, the community, and the healthcare industry.

To honor Mrs. Craft for her many years of faithful and dedicated service to the West Virginia Chapter, the Lucille P. Craft Award was developed in 1983. The Board of Directors presents the award to a Chapter member, other than an officer, in recognition of the member's outstanding support and participation in the activities, goals and achievements of the Chapter.
