Long hours. High-stress environments. Sometimes heartbreaking situations (but other times joyful). The NJBIZ Health Care Heroes awards recognize the professionals who go through all of that and moreevery day.
This program was created to recognize excellence, promote innovation and honor the efforts of individuals and organizations making a significant impact on the quality of health care in New Jersey.
Based on your submissions, and chosen by a panel of independent judges, the program recognizes individuals and organizations across 11 categories, including three that are new for 2024: Ambulatory Care, Mental Health and Physical Therapy.
On June 25, we will gather to celebrate these heroes at The Palace at Somerset Park. Hackensack Meridian Health is the presenting sponsor for this program.
Tickets for the event are now on sale on the event page . Early-bird pricing ends May 19, and ticket sales close June 17.
Congratulations to the 2024 NJBIZ Health Care Heroes!
