Awards
IMPACT Awards
Every year, we honor up to ten community-based healthcare organizations at our IMPACT Awards ceremony. These awards bring attention to small and mid-sized nonprofits that are proactive, committed, and demonstrate a significant impact within their communities. These awards are held in Philadelphia, PA and the Research Triangle Park, NC.
Our executives consult with leading healthcare experts to select the winners, each of whom receives $40,000 in acknowledgement of programs that demonstrate: Innovation, Management, Partnership, Achievement, Community focus, and Targeting need (IMPACT).
Child Health Recognition Awards Program
As a company committed to fighting and preventing disease, we are pleased to sponsor the Child Health Recognition Awards Program. Showcasing exceptional, innovative programs that improve the lives of children, these awards provide a unique opportunity to recognize and reward those who dedicate their lives to improving the health of our children.
This program began in North Carolina in 1994 as a response to low immunization rates in the state. We wanted to help find answers to this critical problem, and discovered that a number of successful programs were already underway across the state—but local efforts were seldom known beyond their county borders. The Child Health Recognition Awards program fosters the sharing of ideas by publicizing great work being done in public health. Since 1994, the program has celebrated excellence in all areas of public health; and in 2001 the first national award was presented at the American Public Health Association's annual meeting.
