Washington, D.C. – The Federation of American Hospitals (FAH) is pleased to announce the 2025 Corris Boyd Healthcare Leadership Award to Joey Dickson, Chief Diversity Officer and AVP of Strategic Sourcing and Purchased Services for HealthTrust.

Dickson’s commitment to mentorship, advocacy, and inclusive leadership was recognized during the annual FAH Conference and Business Exposition in Washington, D.C. During the awards ceremony, Dickson was honored for his leadership at HealthTrust, where he has supported and contributed to the enhancement of business growth for diverse companies.

“This year’s honoree is a leader in the industry – a passionate advocate of the long-term societal and business importance of healthcare supply chain diversity and a key reason for his nominator’s success and growth as a business enterprise,” said Kerry Price, Senior Vice President of Meetings and Conferences at FAH.

The Corris Boyd Diversity in Healthcare Leadership Award honors an individual or company that has made an outstanding contribution to fostering leadership in the health care industry. FAH established the award in 2007 to honor the late Corris Boyd, who spent his career working with hospital management companies and group purchasing organizations. Corris committed his life to diversity and excellence in health care. It is an FAH tradition to surprise the award recipient, and this year was no different; Dickson was unaware of the honor until he was called to the stage. Boyd’s wife, Vanessa, was also in attendance and helped present the award.

FAH is honored to present Joey Dickson with the 2025 Corris Boyd Healthcare Leadership Award and extends its thanks for his outstanding work and embodiment of the ideals the award represents.
