AHA’S Equity of Care Award Winners

The AHA Equity of Care award is named in honor of Carolyn Boone Lewis, the first African American and first hospital trustee to chair the AHA board, who was a tireless advocate for equity of care. “Hospitals and health systems that participate in the Carolyn Boone Lewis Equity of Care Award process demonstrate a commitment to improving health for all people,” said AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack. “Their work is not only a moral imperative but it’s also the way in which hospitals will be positioned to succeed under population health and value-based care.”
