Who is Jackson
Healthcare?
Founded by healthcare pioneer Richard L. Jackson, Jackson
Healthcare serves more than two million patients in nearly one
thousand hospitals each year. The Jackson family of companies
provides physician and clinician staffing, anesthesia management
and healthcare information technology solutions proven to improve
clinical and financial outcomes, as well as increase operational
efficiency.
What
are the Hospital Charitable Service Awards?
The awards will 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 Services 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 to
market 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's 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.
Who
can make nominations for the awards?
Anyone can nominate a hospital. Hospital administrators and
employees, and patients and community members alike are asked to
nominate deserving hospitals for their charitable services.

Can I nominate the same
hospital for different charitable service programs?
Absolutely.
When is
the submission deadline?
End of business day on Friday, October 14, 2011.
What are your
video requirements? Please note that a video is
optional.
We want to help you share your story with the world, and video

formatted for easy upload to YouTube. Resolution should be
1280x720 or 1920x1080. Preferred codec is MPEG-2 or H.264,
and preferred containers are FLV, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.

channel.
How many Hospitals will be
recognized?
We are not defining a set number. We want a group of
independent advisors to evaluate the applicants and decide how the
awards should be allocated. Our goal is to spotlight ALL
innovative efforts.
How
often will awards be given?
This is an annual awards program.
When
will the Finalists and Award Recipients be announced?
The finalists will be announced in December 2011. The
Award recipients will be announced and recognized at the Awards
Conference at the
St. Regis Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia on February 16, 2012.
What are the details for the 2012
Conference?
Details can be found on the conference page. Dress for the
conference and banquet is business casual.
Can I
re-nominate a hospital for a future award?
Award recipients will not be eligible for re-nomination;
however, hospital programs that were not a finalist or
award recipient are eligible for re-nomination in subsequent
years. More important than the awards is the community we
want to build around promoting best practices in charitable
community service.
