For as long as she can remember, Dr. Patricia Tellez-Giron has been inspired to help others. That selflessness was rewarded Jan. 27 as the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UWSMPH) Faculty and Staff Equity and Diversity Committee honored Dr. Patricia Tellez-Giron with the annual Faculty and Staff Equity and Diversity Award for her promotion of equity and improvement of diversity and climate in the Madison community.
