American Society of Hematology honors Chancellor Donald, MD

The American Society of Hematology named Chancellor Donald, MD, a winner of this year’s Exemplary Service Award. Donald is an assistant professor of medicine, hematology, and oncology at Tulane University School of Medicine and medical director of cancer management at University Medical Center New Orleans.

The ASH is largest organization devoted to equitable high-quality care, to improve the lives of patients with blood and bone marrow disorders. The Exemplary Service Award was established in 1998 to recognize individuals whose outstanding service has significantly advanced the interests of the ASH.

This award specifically recognizes Donald and his peers for their “extensive contributions to the COVID-19 content curation group to ensure that the hematology community had access to the most trustworthy and up-to-date resources in the rapidly evolving pandemic environment.” As chair of the ASH Committee on Practice, Donald brought his insights and expertise to help the group identify and address the most pressing needs for practitioners on the front lines of the pandemic. The accurate and updated information Donald and his fellow honorees gathered made Hematology.org a trusted source for patients, physicians and researchers across the globe.

The award will be presented during ASH’s 64th Annual Meeting and Exposition in New Orleans this December.
