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.
- 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
All hospital-funded community programs are eligible to
participate regardless the size, tax or ownership model.
