What are the Hospital
Charitable Service Awards?
The awards program seeks to recognize the accomplishments of
hospital programs across the nation that rise above traditional
community benefit set a new standard in serving the
underserved.

Why is Jackson Healthcare
recognizing the charitable services of hospital
programs?
Jackson Healthcare knows that hospitals give back to their
communities in remarkable and innovative ways. Often away
from the spotlight and attention of the media and general
public. We want to elevate the reputation of hospitals by
bringing attention to their charitable programs, and by rewarding
outstanding efforts.

What types of
hospitals/healthcare organizations are eligible for the
Awards?
All hospital-funded charitable community programs are eligible
for the Hospital Charitable Service Awards. We recognize the
incredible work that independent health clinics and non-hospital
private foundations are playing in communities across the nation;
however, nominations are limited to hospitals at this time.

Can "for-profit" and "government"
hospitals participate?
Yes. Jackson Healthcare seeks to bring positive attention to the
community-focused accomplishments of all U.S. hospitals.

What types of charitable services
will be recognized?
Jackson Healthcare is interested in hearing about all types of
community services, but we will recognize those hospitals whose
programs are designed to truly meet community needs rather than
serve as marketing vehicles for the hospital.
Free care is one component of community service, but we're also
looking for outreach innovation, medical mission efforts, support
services and need-based education and screening services - just to
name a few!

Will individual employee
contributions to programs be recognized?
The Hospital Charitable Service Awards are designed to award and
recognize programs that make a corporate/organizational commitment
to community benefit, not individual superstars within
hospitals.
back to top
Who can make nominations for the
awards?
We ask that an official representative of the sponsoring
hospital system complete, sign and submit an application on behalf
of each program.

How do I nominate a hospital for
an Award?

request a copy, click here.

Can I nominate different
charitable service programs from the same hospital?
Absolutely. We encourage hospitals to nominate multiple programs
within their system. But each program should be documented in a
separate application form.

How many hospitals will be
recognized?
Each year, ten programs are named "Programs of Excellence" and
awarded $10,000. During the 2012 season, the Advisory Board
also awarded $2,500 "Programs of Promise" recognitions to four
hospital programs that demonstrated clear visions for addressing
underserved community health and prevention needs, but are too new
to report sustainable impact data.

How often will awards be
given?
This is an annual awards program.

When will the Finalists and
Award Recipients be announced?
Finalists will be announced in mid-October 2013. These finalist

impact data and reference checks.

banquet immediately following the national Hospital Charitable
Services Conference in February 2014.

Do I have to attend the 2014
Conference?
A representative from your hospital or program must be present

Can I re-nominate a hospital
for a future award?
Award winners, called "Programs of Excellence," will not be
eligible for re-nomination; however, all other hospital programs,

subsequent years.
