Presented at the HERO Forum in San Diego on Sept. 30, the Mark Dundon Research Award recognizes those individuals whose work has enhanced and promoted the research of employee health management. Spanning 35 years, Dr. Edington's career has witnessed the birth and growing acceptance of employee health management as a critical force in today's corporate world. Without Dr. Edington's contributions, which have come from numerous books and journal articles, but also include his seminal work at the University of Michigan, the realm of employee health management would not be where it is today.
