The Weinberg Family Award for Academic Excellence is awarded annually by Baystate Medical Center to an individual whose innovative research, publications, or leadership of a national academic organization have brought honor to Baystate Health. 

This award was created through the generosity of Dr. Ethel Weinberg, who served as the first Chief Academic Officer at Baystate Medical Center from 1986 to 1996, and her husband, Saul Weinberg. 

The Weinberg Family Award is the highest academic honor conferred by Baystate Medical Center.
