which changed the way anesthesia and critical care are administered,
integrated functional genomic, epigenetic and genetic data to help 
understand how genomes are involved with various diseases and 
disorders, developed a wireless remote temperature monitoring solutionfor vaccine refrigerators in rural areas, and discovered a pacing methodthat enables diagnosis and termination of arrhythmia. The winner in 
the category, Kimberly Shriner, M.D., F.A.C.P. created a global outreachproject that brings Pasadena medical teams to Tanzania where they savelives by educating the people through lectures, workshops and clinics tosustainably relieve diseases such as HIV, parasites and more. “ I think 
that the Rotary Club, their merging of innovation and humanity andengineering and technology is just what we need at this time in theworld…” said Dr. Shriner.
