Nominations Now Open for 2015 Innovation & STAR Awards

Please join the Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts and your colleagues from across Massachusetts as we honor and showcase the best people and programs in our industry today. This annual celebration of innovation and excellence will take place on April 28th at the Revere Hotel, 200 Stuart Street, Boston, MA. Invitations to attend will be sent to a broad health care audience.

This event offers member agencies two opportunities to shine:

  1. Nominate a program, product, or operational change that has either a) enhanced the well-being of patients, clients, or the community, b) driven efficiency in operations or the health care system, or c) enhanced the productivity or satisfaction of agency staff.
  2. Nominate an employee or homecare supporter for a STAR Award. These awards celebrate the exceptional accomplishments of the everyday heroes in our midst who make incredible differences in the lives of their patients/clients and their families. Though there are too few opportunities to recognize all who deserve one, a STAR award brings with it some well-deserved recognition for both the agency and the individual.

Nominations may be made by Alliance agencies, their patients, or their partner organizations.

 Nominations for the Innovation Showcase and the STAR Awards are due by February 27th.

Final selections will be made by the Alliance’s Membership & Awards Ceremony Committee. Each winner will be invited to attend the ceremony as guest of the Alliance, along with the person who nominated him/her, as well as three additional guests.
