The Professional Advisory Committee, a sub-committee of the Block Island Health Services Board, announced at Monday's board meeting that it has established the Peter Baute Endowment's Award. The endowment, named in honor of Dr. Peter Baute, who served as Block Island's resident doctor for five-and-a-half years, will be bestowed each year at the board's annual meeting to a student, intern, or resident who has practiced at the Medical Center.
