Dr. Satoru & Grace Nakamoto
Established in 2022 by Dr. Christopher and Donna Lew, the Dr. Satoru and Grace Nakamoto Award for the Development of Leadership in Medical Humanities and Arts is a minimum $5,000 grant given annually to an individual whose peers and teachers identify them attributes that embody true leadership qualities.
Dr. Satoru Nakamoto was a trailblazer at Cleveland Clinic. In 1957 he finished his training in cardiovascular disease and by 1976 he was appointed the head of the newly formed Department of Hemodialysis where he became a pioneer in dialysis and renal transplantation. Additionally, Dr. Nakamoto played a large role in teaching nephrology fellows the technical aspects of dialysis as well as how to care for transplant and chronic dialysis patients. He was the consummate physician, researcher, educator, but above all else he made patient care his priority. To honor his memory his family has decided to establish the Dr. Satoru and Grace Nakamoto Award for the Development of Leadership in Medical Humanities and Arts.
The annual awardee is someone who has demonstrated a commitment to learning, superior communication abilities and a mastery of medical skills. The recipient also embodies the courage, integrity and compassion that represent the highest ideals of clinical medicine. The award is to be used to assist the awardee in development of a project to enhance their leadership and/or humanitarian activities in the field of medical humanities.
Prior to 2022, this award was formerly known as the Dr. William and Roxanna Michener Award.

Alfred & Norma Stoller GME Award
Alfred and Norma Stoller Award for Virtue-Based Leadership in Graduate Medical Education
Established in 2023, the Alfred and Norma Stoller Award for Virtue-Based Leadership in Graduate Medical Education, named for Alfred and Norma Stoller, provides a $2,000 grant to a clinical trainee in graduate medical education at Cleveland Clinic (second program year or above). The purpose of the award is to support the recipient in the development of a project in healthcare that exemplifies and drives one or more of the seven classic virtues - trust, compassion, hope, justice, wisdom, temperance, and courage (1-6).
History of the award
Alfred (1919 – 2011) and Norma (1923-1991) Stoller were parents of James K. Stoller, MD, MS (Chair, Education Institute; Staff, Respiratory Institute, Cleveland Clinic) and grandparents of Jacob Fox Stoller. Alfred and Norma were deeply committed to educating their family. Alfred Stoller's own plans for graduate school were scuttled by his father's (Jacob Stoller) early passing, forcing him to take over his father's business, a small retail luggage store in the Bronx, New York. Based upon grit, hard work, self-sacrifice, and great frugality, Alfred and Norma Stoller sent both of their sons to private colleges and medical schools, debt-free. This was the crowning achievement of their lives and their spirit of giving of oneself in service of others is the core of this award. The hope is that the awardee, through their work with this grant and career in medicine, will perpetuate these virtue-based values.
Award
- Awardee will receive a cash award of $2,000.
- This amount will annually be reviewed and adjusted appropriately by the holder of the Stoller Family Chair in Medical Education, after consultation with the Alumni Association.
- A signed copy of the book, Better Humans, Better Performance: Driving Leadership, Teamwork, and Culture with Intentionality by Rea, P., Stoller, J.K., & Kolp, A., will also be awarded to the recipient.
- Awardee will receive a framed certificate.
- Awardee will be highlighted in an upcoming issue of the Alumni Connection magazine.
- Awardee will be recognized at the annual Alumni Association Spring Reception.
Eligibility
Recipient exemplifies and drives one or more of the seven classic virtues - trust, compassion, hope, justice, wisdom, temperance, and courage (1-6).
Criteria
- Written proposal to the Nominating Committee of the Alumni Association that is responsive to the objectives stated above. The resources cited below provide insight into the virtues and their impact as drivers of high performance.
- A summary of the project and its outcomes to be submitted to the Alumni Association Board of Directors at the completion of the project (12 months from the award) and the report will be shared with representatives of the Stoller family, if available.
