The American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) of Eastern Pennsylvania presents only two annual awards, one of which recognizes an up-and coming careerist. That prize now bears the name of a longtime Scranton professor and department chair. The newly designated Daniel J. West, Jr., Ph.D., Early Careerist Award was unveiled Oct. 23, 2024, at the ACHE of Eastern Pennsylvania Symposium at DeSales University.

Dr. West, professor emeritus in the Department of Health Administration and Human Resources, conducted dozens of study abroad tours for graduate students and faculty in countries spanning Bolivia, China, Haiti and Slovakia, to name a few.
