Paul Nourbash, M.D. - Recipient of 2005 Pelican Award

Alexian Brothers Medical Center , Elk Grove Village, has named its 2005 Pelican Awards recipients. The Pelican awards began in 1991 as one way for the Alexian Brothers to thank volunteers, leaders, and physicians for exemplifying the Brothers' Mission and Values. The pelican, a symbol used by the Alexian Brothers Congregation for hundreds of years, represents the sacrifice of Christian charity.

Paul Nourbash, M.D., was selected as this year's recipient of the Pelican Award for the Legacy of Caring. The award is bestowed by Alexian Brothers Medical Center to the physician who exemplifies the Spirit, Values and Mission of the Alexian Brothers.  On staff at Alexian Brothers Medical Center since 1988, Dr. Nourbash, an orthopedic surgeon, received his training at Northwestern University , University of Illinois, Indiana University, and Rush Presbyterian St. Lukes Medical Center.
