Get ready to celebrate the incredible change makers within the Health Leader community!
At the heart of the Social Health Awards is a powerful truth: the patient voice changes lives.
We proudly honor the incredible patients, caregivers and HCPs who bravely share their health journeys, transforming experiences into empathy, understanding, and real-world improvements for countless others.
This program shines a bright spotlight on these exceptional leaders, recognizing their remarkable accomplishments over the past year. We're talking about those who courageously share their health journeys, online and in person, to:
- Spark connections and build communities for those living with health conditions.
- Deepen public understanding of what it's truly like to live with or care for someone with a health condition.
- Educate and inform about the vital roles of patients and caregivers within the healthcare system.
- Shine a light on areas that need improvement or correction.
- Champion efforts to improve life with chronic conditions.
- ...and so much more!
Our goal is to bring vital awareness, attention, and a resounding voice to their tireless pursuits.
