A release from the Community Cancer Center said the award honors an outstanding person, program, or organization that has improved the quality and availability of health care in rural communities.
Tammy Turner, Executive Director of the CCC said “Dr. Moore’s contributions to improving the quality of life for rural Oregonians are extensive”.
