Medical breakthroughs and outstanding patient care. Those are the hallmarks of medical practice in Kentuckiana, which has earned a world-class reputation for health care. The Doctors’ Ball celebrates these accomplishments, bestowing prestigious awards for excellence in leadership, innovation and service. Last year, nearly 750 of the most prominent individuals in Louisville gathered for this elegant dinner, dance and silent auction now in its 18th year. Louisville Magazine will publish a special Doctors’ Ball section in September 2013 to give our top sponsors an extraordinary opportunity to extend the value of their support beyond the evening of The Doctors’ Ball--reaching the 100,000 readers of this premium publication as it profiles our award recipients.
