Healthcare Heroes Awards Gala

The Healthcare Heroes program was created in 2017 to honor the heroes working across the region’s wide, deep, and all-important healthcare and wellness sector. These leaders, innovators, and collaborators have devoted their careers to improving the quality of individual lives and the health of entire communities.

Since its inception, Healthcare Heroes has more than succeeded in its quest to identify truly inspirational people and organizations — not to mention compelling stories — within this sector. There has been no shortage of fascinating stories to tell and individuals and groups to honor.

Join us at the Log Cabin on October 22 as we honor the Healthcare Heroes Class of 2025.
