Thank You for Celebrating Our Hospital Heroes
The HASC staff is deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for the 2023 My SoCal Hospital Heroes Awards Gala on Nov. 3. It was truly a night to remember! To recapture the magic, we’ve put together a reel showcasing some of the Gala highlights and memories. We hope it allows you to relive the unforgettable evening we shared, and that it serves as a reminder of the incredible impact our Heroes have on their hospitals and communities.
Our heartfelt thanks go to all those who took the time to submit nominations, our dedicated planning team, and the selection committee, who had the challenge of naming the winners from among dozens of remarkable nominees. Most of all, thank you to all our hospital employees — the inspiration and reason for this event. Your hard work and commitment, 24/7, 365 days a year, do not go unnoticed!
As we look toward to the future, we’re happy to announce that preparations for next year are already in full swing. Please check our web page, https://hasc.org/heroes/, for updates and ways to get involved with the 2024 My SoCal Hospital Heroes Awards campaign.
Should you have any feedback, ideas, or suggestions for the planning committee, we’d love to hear from you — please email us at [email protected]. Once again, thank you for being a part of this very special event!
