SVMC Medical Staff’s Annual Recognition Event was held last week, celebrating the recipients of the 2026 Clinical Excellence Award and 2026 Teamwork Award.
James MacGregor, MD, of SVMC General Surgery, was presented with the Clinical Excellence Award this year. His nomination noted: “In several instances Dr. MacGregor has demonstrated willingness to go above and beyond for his patients. His willingness to participate and lead in some of the most difficult cases has garnered true respect from his colleagues across multiple specialties. His sincere and thoughtful contributions to patient care have truly made a difference, improving not only the lives of this patient's but the culture here at SVMC.
James Kalmuk, MD, of the Dartmouth Cancer Center Bennington, received this year’s Teamwork Award. His nomination read: “James consistently goes above and beyond in assuring that everyone on the team has the resources they need to evaluate and treat our patients. He routinely seeks out external records himself and communicates with outside providers to assure everyone is on the same page, including for patients who are not directly under his care. He has spearheaded the re-vamp of our care team huddle to assure that everyone is consistently on the same page.”
Congratulations to Drs. MacGregor and Kalmuk, and to the providers celebrating years of service, below.
