The Gold Medal Award is the most prestigious award ACHE bestows on leaders who have made significant contributions to the healthcare profession. This award identifies Fellows who best exemplify leadership at the organizational, local, state/provincial and national levels, and who continually contribute to the improvement of the delivery of healthcare services and community health. We may give up to two Gold Medal Awards each year: one to an outstanding executive in a healthcare delivery organization and the second to an executive in a nondelivery healthcare organization, such as an alliance, association, university or consulting firm. The deadline for submission of the nomination packet is Aug. 31.
