The Greater Fayetteville Business Journal’s Health Care Heroes Awards honor those making an impact on healthcare in the Fayetteville MSA. On Nov. 2 beginning at 5:30 p.m. we will gather with members of the community to recognize the selfless contributions these workers have made for the health and wellness of their neighbors.
GFBJ opened up the nomination process to the community for its inaugural Health Care Heroes awards in early September. Our outside judging panel worked diligently to choose the finalists and ultimately the winners in each of the nine categories which included the lifetime achievement award.
The finalists were profiled in a special Health Care Heroes section of the Business Journal and the winners will be announced at an awards event on November 2 at the Highland Country Club.
