Countless people and organizations work tirelessly each day to improve the health of our community. Most of them work outside the spotlight. Community Health Alliance of Pasadena (CHAP) believes it is time to shine the light of recognition on those whose vision, leadership or service has impacted the health of our community in an inspiring way.
At its annual gala on May 2, 2008, CHAP wishes to honor an individual or organization that in an exemplary way has put the “care” in health care. We are calling on our friends, colleagues and community partners to suggest deserving nominees for CHAP Community Health Action Awards.
We wish to be as inclusive as possible. Nominees may include a paramedic who saved someone’s life; a volunteer who has offered a lifetime of service to health causes; a civic or political leader who has championed health policy; a donor whose generosity has impacted the health of others; a corporation whose policies have improved employee wellbeing; a research scientist who contributed to a treatment breakthrough; a front-line staff member who exceeds expectations; or a service club that has improved the lives of children. While there are many worthy recipients, a special individual or organization will be selected and honored at our event.
Nomination Criteria:
- Nominees may be individuals, corporations, nonprofit agencies, consortiums, and other organized groups or associations.
- Nominees must reside in, be based in or provide service that positively impacts the greater Pasadena area.
- Nominee (or representative) must be available to receive the award on May 2.
- Nomination forms must be received by February 22, 2008.
Recipients of the inaugural awards presented in 2007 included Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, State Senator Jack Scott, Health Department Director Wilma J. Allen and the Pasadena Healthcare Consortium.
