INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (ADAMS) – Governor Eric Holcomb is defending the state’s decision to reject the recommendation that Dr. Caitlin Bernard be a winner of the Torchbearer Award.

Dr. Bernard has been reprimanded by the state Medical Licensing Board, with that being the reason given by the Indiana Civil Rights Commission for rejecting her.
