Hannah Decker, M.D. Receives ZSFG Krevans Award

Hannah Decker, M.D., a General Surgery PGY-2 resident, was presented with the 2020 Krevans Award in recognition of her clinical and professional excellence throughout her intern year at the Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG).

The Krevans Award recognizes "excellence in patient care, as exemplified by clinical competence, professional conduct, concern for patients and interaction with all level of staff, including peers." Recipients are selected by the chiefs of the various medical departments at the Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. The award was established in 1979 by the Gladstone Institutes, a privately funded, UCSF-affiliated research institute formerly on the ZSFG campus. The award is named for Julius R. Krevans, M.D., the fifth Chancellor of UCSF.

About her intern experience at ZSFG, Dr. Decker noted:

The opportunity to care for the patients at ZSFG is the main reason I wanted to train at UCSF. I am inspired every day by my coworkers’ passion to serving the underserved and bringing excellent healthcare to the patients of San Francisco that need it the most.
