The award from the Marion County Branch of the NAACP was given to O'Malley for her inspiration to the citizens of the Florence and Marion County communities. The award also stated she has demonstrated herself as a "truly professional, caring community leader."

"I am honored and humbled to have received this award. MUSC Health has a deep commitment to partner with our communities to eliminate disparities and improve access to healthcare," said Christina O'Malley.
