5th Annual Gratitude for Grand:
Give a High Five for Health
September 13th – 27th, 2024.
Award for Excellence in Health Care
Do you know someone in Grand County who goes the extra mile to care for our community’s health? The Grand County Rural Health Network wants your help finding nominees for the 2024 Award for Excellence in Health Service. We’re looking for people or groups who are making a big impact on the health and well-being of our community. This is not limited to health care providers. These can be professionals or volunteers because, we know health is more than health care.
To nominate a deserving person or group, please provide a summary of their accomplishments in 500 words or less. Let us know why they deserve recognition and how they’ve made a positive impact on health in our community. Our Board of Directors will carefully review all nominations and select the winners, who will be honored at the Gratitude for Grand: High Five for Health Kick-Off in September 2024.
Help us recognize those who are truly making Grand County thrive and be healthy. Send in your nominations by May 24, 2024.
