So proud of our Emeritus Director and 2 time Board Chair!! Congratulations Dr. Norris

It was an honor to recognize Dr. Kimberly Norris with the 2026 Compassion Award at this year’s Julep Gala.

For decades, Dr. Norris has exemplified what it means to provide truly compassionate, patient-centered care, leaving a lasting impact on Corewell Health Pennock Hospital and the community we serve.

“Dr. Norris represents the very heart of compassion — caring for people not only as patients, but as individuals,” said Bill Hoefer, President and Regional Market Leader for Corewell Health Pennock and Zeeland Hospitals. “Her example mirrors what this community makes possible through generosity.”

Dr. Norris now joins a distinguished group of past Compassion Award honorees, including Dr. Oscar deGoa, Dr. Christopher Noah, Dr. James Weatherhead, Colleen Garber, Sandy Bowen, Dr. Larry Hawkins, and Judy Olsen.

Please join us in celebrating Dr. Kimberly Norris and the legacy of care shared by all of our past recipients.
