Healthcare Heroes 2017 Celebration
Healthcare Heroes 2017 Event
October 20, 2017
Scenes from the October 2017 Gala Photos by Dani Fine Photography There were more than 70 nominations for the inaugural Healthcare Heroes class, and each
HERO (n.) a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.
BusinessWest and Healthcare News have created Healthcare Heroes to honor those who live up to that word’s definition. This region’s health and wellness sector is large, diverse, and dominated by heroes of all kinds. They’re on the front lines, in the administrative office, the research lab, the neighborhood clinic, the family dentist’s office, the college health and science building. They’re making real contributions to the quality of life in our communities, and it’s time to recognize their efforts!
