The Gwinnett Chamber is pleased to recognize those who are making significant impacts in the industry, with the Healthcare Excellence Awards.  

"Access to quality healthcare is one of the most important factors in determining a community's quality of life," said Dr. Dan Kaufman, President & CEO of the Gwinnett Chamber. "Not only does it affect every individual on a personal level, but it is also considered a strategic economic development tool for attracting companies to relocate to or expand and invest in Gwinnett County. A readily available, well-trained workforce will have its pick of the best jobs in Gwinnett's healthcare arena. For fast growth communities such as ours, it is critical to have a quality healthcare system with state-of-the-art-technology supporting it.

"We are honored that we have been nominated by colleagues and the community. We are fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful sector and are excited to be a part of the event," said Sam Dawkins, Vice President of Communications at PruittHealth.

Designations in the following areas will be given:  Community Leadership, Corporate Achievement, Executive Administrator, Healthcare Agency, Healthcare Professional, Physician of the Year and Volunteer Service.   

With the Healthcare Excellence Awards, the Gwinnett Chamber pays tribute to those who are leading the way through innovation, patient and family care, philanthropic efforts and volunteerism. Winners will be unveiled at the December 15 ceremony at the Infinite Energy Center, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
