The GHA Hospital Hero Awards were established in 2005 as a way of recognizing the amazing hospital employees, volunteers, and board members at Georgia's hospitals. Over the years, GHA has honored doctors, nurses, volunteers, environmental services staff, dietary aides, social workers, emergency medical services staff, and more. The program awards heroic deeds as well as long-time service to the healthcare field.
Up to three individuals will be selected.
Nominations
Please note that the hospital CEO/administrator/president and/or board chair must authorize this nomination and its submission to GHA. You will have the opportunity to note this authorization in the nomination. Nominations must be submitted by employees or board members of GHA-member hospitals.
Nominees must be employed or have medical privileges at a hospital that is a GHA member. Additionally, hospital trustees and board members are eligible for nomination. A nominee can be a person who works at a patient's bedside - such as a physician or nurse - or may be someone who does not directly interact with patients but who helps enhance the overall patient experience, such as a professional who works in an administrative capacity or other areas such as dietary, environmental services or physical plant operations. Hospital board members and trustees are eligible. Please note that CEOs are not eligible as we have a separate award for them, the W. Daniel Barker CEO Leadership Award.
