James Eadie, vice chair of emergency medicine, medical director, and flight commander at Wilford Hall Medical Center in Texas, as a “hero of emergency medicine.” The honor, coming on the college’s 40th anniversary, is meant to recognize physicians who have made significant contributions to emergency medicine, their communities, and their patients.
