Nominate a Hospital Hero
HASC is thrilled to open nominations for the 2024 My SoCal Hospital Heroes Awards! We invite our members and the public to submit names of hospital staff who have made a real difference for patients, colleagues and/or the community with their dedication and compassion.
Tell us how these employees have impacted others over the past 12 months and what makes them a hero. Nominees can work in any hospital area — clinical, administrative, facilities, volunteering and more. Submissions are due Friday, July 26, 2024.
