The 2019 Academy of Country Music Awards™ marks her sixteenth time hosting the show.

Reba McEntire Founders Award Richard Abrams, M.D. will be presented with the Founders Award at The Carousel Ball in honor of the instrumental role he has played in advancing diabetes care over the past four decades. Richard Abrams, M.D. Dr. Abrams has practiced internal medicine for over 40 years at Rose Medical Center, where he founded Colorado Preventive Medicine in 2006. His professional focus is based on the assumption that prevention or early detection of treatable disease is the key to a long, healthy life. One of Rick’s proudest accomplishments was his role in demonstrating that women with type 1 diabetes could become pregnant and safely deliver healthy babies. Forty years ago most physicians firmly believed that having a family was simply out of the question for women with diabetes. Dr. Abrams and colleagues showed that with contemporary diabetes care, pregnancy was safe for both mother and child. Rick edited the first editions of the American Diabetes Association books-- Diabetes During Pregnancy and Gestational Diabetes. He has also written and edited 5 medical books and numerous articles. His book, Will It Hurt the Baby, was featured on NBC’s Today Show, ABC’s Good Morning America, and CBS’s This Morning. A highlight of Rick’s professional life is serving on the Children’s Diabetes Foundation (CDF) Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board for over 30 years. The Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes (BDC) is one of the nation’s premier clinical care facilities and research centers. His participation in the success of the CDF and BDC continues to be an honor. Rick’s life is enriched by the love and support of his wife Carol, his son Brian, his daughter Katie, daughter-in-law Nora, son-in-law Tzur, and his 3 grandsons Xander, Knox, and Liam.
