Salute the Heroes Among Us!
Heroes are men and women who put others before themselves. They are unafraid to face hard work to improve the world around them. Heroes see problems – and solve them.
A real hero won’t seek the spotlight, but we think it is time to shine it on them.
Utah Business’ Health Care Heroes program recognizes excellence, promotes innovation, encourages emulation of successful programs, educates the general public and contributes to the enhancement of the value and quality of health care in Utah. Three award recipients in eight categories are chosen from a field of nominations by an editorial panel of community leaders and health care professionals. The awards are open to organizations, businesses, and people making a significant impact on the quality of health care in Utah. Each nomination should include a narrative of less than 600 words describing the nominee’s qualifications.
