The Dr. Frist Humanitarian Awards were created to recognize one employee, one physician and one volunteer at each HCA-affiliated facility who demonstrate extraordinary concern for the welfare and happiness of patients and their community.
The Awards are given annually in recognition of the humanitarian spirit and philanthropic work of the late Dr. Thomas F. Frist, Sr., a founder of HCA.
National recipients will be honored in the spring at a reception at the company’s headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee.
Good luck to you all in the May ceremony.
