It’s that time again! Time to select those outstanding hospice professionals you would like to see nominated for the “Awards of Excellence“. For those who might not know, these awards are a unique opportunity  for outstanding individuals to get statewide recognition for consistent dedication to teamwork, innovation and more in hospice.  It’s a celebration of  excellence for the delivery of hospice and palliative care. You are free to make more than one nomination for those you feel compelled to, in fact we encourage it. The awards are open to employees or volunteers who are members of FHPCA and in the Florida hospice community.

How Selection Works

Nominations are judged by a selection committee composed of leaders within the hospice industry. The selection committee is looking for examples and specific details that demonstrate how nominees have exceeded expectations and, by their actions, made those around them better. Nominees must be an FHPCA member in good standing at the time of nomination and at the time of the award presentation.
