In the limelight: Healthcare Heroes award nominations open

Relentless challenges of COVID-19 have drawn our nation’s attention to the outstanding care and commitment of health care workers this past year more than most.

That makes the 2021 Central Penn Business Journal/Central Penn Parent Healthcare Heroes awards as meaningful as ever this year.

The awards recognize health care professionals who have had a positive impact on individuals and the quality of health care in surrounding communities. Nominations are due by Wednesday, Jan. 27.

Award categories honor a range of health care heroes, including nurse, physician, allied health worker, volunteer, mental health caregiver, special needs advocate, lifetime achievement hero and more, as well as recognition for an organization that advances innovation in health care. A COVID-19 Hero award is new to the roster this year.
