Awards of Excellence 2025
Every year, the Awards of Excellence recognize the work of The Children's staff and community leaders who set the standards for excellence in their fields.
Nominees are nominated by their colleagues. A multidisciplinary committee from the Hospital, including last year's recipients, will then review the nominations and select the winners of each award.
We invite you to nominate individuals for the 2025 Awards of Excellence starting today. Nominations must be received no later than Tuesday, December 31.
The Foundation is proud to recognize those who make a significant contribution to The Children's. Thanks to their exceptional dedication, The Children's continues to find Unexpected ways to heal and help its young patients regain their boundless energy.
The ceremony and the presentation of the 2025 Awards of Excellence will take place May 20, 2025
