Recognizing - and Inspiring - Hospital Commitment to Charitable Services

The Hospital Charitable Service Awards honors hospital programs setting new standards for health and wellness in their communities through education, access and delivery. We want to recognize hospitals whose commitment to their community - whether defined locally, regionally, nationally or globally - has led to innovative efforts to improve community health and increase access to healthcare education and services.

Our hope is that your story will inspire other organizations to do more, too!

We're looking for hospitals whose efforts go beyond the traditional definitions of "community benefit" and "free care" to identify - and satisfy - tangible community health needs.  Educational services, health screenings, support groups, and medical mission work are just a few of the possible community-based services we'd like to hear about.

Learn how other hospitals have contributed to the communities they serve, and tell us how your organization is making a difference by nominating your hospital and sharing its story.

Aims of the Awards Program

  • Create greater awareness of the amazing gifts hospitals offer their communities
  • Celebrate the accomplishments of hospital programs that stand as beacons of community service for the underserved
  • Share existing "best practices" for delivering and funding community health programs
  • Connect hospitals with innovative approaches and new opportunities to serving the underserved
