2006 National Caring Awards. Ben Carson, MD.
Ben Carson is world famous, both for his work as a physician and as a humanitarian. Dr. Carson is the director of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, who made history in 1987 when he successfully separated Siamese twins joined at the head. As important as this life-saving work is to him, what is more important is the philanthropic work that he and his wife, Candy, are doing to help underprivileged youth.
