Past Concern Awards' Recipients

The Concern Awards was a recognition program originally created in 1980 by Cedars Medical Center (now University of Miami Hospital). Health Foundation upheld the tradition and made it more inclusive by enabling the community to nominate candidates to be honored. The outstanding efforts of volunteers and professional leaders who went above and beyond to improve health for those in need were recognized for their outstanding efforts.
 
In 2002, the program was enhanced by providing finalists and the Concern Awards’ recipients with special grants for their nonprofit health - related organizations. More than $650,000 was awarded until the program concluded in 2008.
 
And although the Concern Awards program is over, the outstanding efforts made by the recipients to improve health is forever recognized in our hearts and in our community.
