The Kenneth M. Viste, Jr., MD Young Physician Leadership Award is presented annually to a young physician who demonstrates commitment to patients, the medical profession, and the community.

“This is a great honor for one of our physicians to receive this award,” said Aspirus Vice President and Senior System Physician Executive of Tertiary Care Dr. Ryan Andrews. “Dr. Siebert’s hard work and dedication to his profession goes a long way in helping Aspirus provide top health care to the communities we serve.”

Dr. Siebert expressed his appreciation to the Wisconsin Medical Society Foundation stating, “A person like Dr. Viste, that leaves the kind of legacy he did, serves as a positive example for young physicians such as myself to strive towards. It reminds me that while some things may change in medicine; paper charts to computer, manual stethoscopes to electronic, the important things like taking the best care of your patients remain unchanged.” 

This award comes with a donation made in honor of the recipient to a non-profit of their choosing with Dr. Siebert and his family matched. The Wisconsin Medical Society Foundation is pleased to present a donation in Dr. Siebert’s honor to the Aspirus Wausau Hospital Birthing Center and NICU.
