The Virginia Crockford Health Planning Award was established at the Central Virginia Health Planning Agency’s (CVHPA) 25^th Anniversary celebration, held in 2001, to honor the memory of Virginia Crockford. A long time member of the CVHPA’s Board of Directors and Capital Area Health Advisory Council, Ms. Crockford was involved in health care planning since its infancy in Virginia. She served as Richmond City’s School Board Chairman during the period of desegregation and was an active community volunteer for numerous health and educational issues.

Current Board members are excluded from consideration.
