2. Nominations
Nominations may be for any individual who goes above and beyond for those facing life limiting
illnesses. These awards are intended to honor exemplary people – those that take more initiative, work
harder, are more caring and thoughtful, and give more of themselves for families and those in need. Each
professional nominee must be a current practitioner in the field in which she/he is being nominated.
The Annual Awards Committee determines the recipients of these awards. Award recipients are
determined SOLELY on the content of the written nominations. As such, the more information provided in
the nomination submission, the higher the likelihood of your nominee being selected.

Sponsorships

responsibilities of those experiencing, and those caring for, patients dealing with life limiting illnesses.
