The Geddes-Laufman-Greatbatch Award was established by Dr. Leslie A. Geddes after he received the 1987 AAMI Foundation/Laufman-Greatbatch Prize in recognition of the importance and unparalleled diversity of his contributions in biomedical instrumentation. Dr. Harold Laufman is emeritus professor of surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and director emeritus, Institute of Surgical Studies, Montefiore Medical Center in New York. Wilson Greatbatch was trained as an electrical engineer but his research, which combined engineering with medical electronics, agricultural genetics, and electrochemistry, resulted in the first implantable pacemaker.
