About the Winners

Don Dennison

Don Dennison, CIIP, FSIIM, has been named the 2025 CIIP Award Winner for his decades-long dedication to advancing imaging informatics. From his early days at Agfa Healthcare to launching his own consulting firm, Dennison has consistently championed innovation, education, and community building. His work spans the development of commercial tools, volunteer leadership with ABII and the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM), and the creation of free resources to support informaticists.

Dennison's CIIP certification, earned mid-career, validated his deep expertise and reinforced his commitment to bridging clinical needs with technical solutions. "You put in the years, try to do quality work for the right reasons, and keep grinding," Dennison said. "Then something like this comes along and reminds you that those hundreds of hours mattered."
