Read our CCMS 2021 Year-in-Review which demonstrates that even though COVID-19 continued to present challenges for gatherings, through the leadership of Champaign County Medical Society President Dr. Holly Rosencranz and the Board of Directors, CCMS was able to provide opportunities to its members for learning, support, and networking even while also navigating COVID-19 restrictions.

Champaign County Medical Society presented Dr. Prakash Thopiah, retired Champaign-Urbana cardiologist, the 2021 Physician Champion Award for Community Service at the CCMS Fall Membership Meeting on Thursday, September 9th.
The award recognized Dr. Thopiah's dedication promoting ALS research and his advocacy through the ALS Association for the development of treatments and finding a cure. He made an impact while meeting his own personal challenges with ALS. Dr. Thopiah was genuinely deserving of this award.
The Physician Champion Award was created to recognize physicians who have not only demonstrated a lifetime of physician service to patients in our area, but also have consistently gone the extra mile to use their personal time, enthusiasm, expertise and energy in volunteer outreach through organizations or other volunteer activies in the community, state, or nation. This award was specifically created to coincide with our CCMS Fall Membership meeting traditionally held near the anniversay of the 9/11 terrorism tragedy that brought out the largest outpouring of professional and volunteer physician support our country has ever experienced
