The WSMA established the William O. Robertson, MD, Patient Safety Award several years ago to recognize and share innovative patient safety initiatives in the ambulatory care setting. The award was named after WSMA past-president, William O. Robertson, MD, who was a champion for patient safety, risk management, and quality improvement throughout his long and distinguished career.

To have your patient safety initiative considered for the William O. Roberson, MD, Patient Safety Award, please submit your information by April 24th. The award will be presented at the 2026 WSMA Annual Meeting Sept. 26-27, at the Historic Davenport in Spokane.
