Doctors Hospital of Sarasota recently presented the annual Frist Humanitarian Awards. Created in honor of Dr. Thomas Frist, Sr., the founder of HCA who was respected for his generosity and caring, the award recognizes outstanding individuals for their humanitarian and volunteer activities. This year’s awards honored Dr. Andrew Moulton of Sarasota Orthopedic Associates and volunteers Margaret Alletson, RN, and Lorraine Glixon. A nationally recognized expert in the treatment of spinal disorders, Moulton established the Butterfly Foundation to treat children around the world in need of spinal care. He assembles medical teams and supplies to travel to remote areas where spine care is not available. Alletson volunteers for multiple community events including Relay for Life, American Heart Association and the Lions Club. She participates in community health screenings, drives people to doctor’s appointments and helps others with personal care. Glixon has been a volunteer at Doctors Hospital for more than eight years. In addition she volunteers at her synagogue where they distribute food and clothing to the homeless, and also at the Sarasota National Cemetery and Jewish Family and Children Services.
