The American Hospital Association (AHA) is accepting applications for the annual 2026 AHA Foster G. McGaw Prize now through May 6, 2025. The prize honors health delivery organizations that demonstrate alignment between community health needs and co-designed programs.
Honorees are often those who forge effective collaborations with a broad range of community organizations to improve access to care and address societal factors influencing health. Past winners have co-created mental health crisis clinics, expanded housing options to help people transition out of homelessness and used strategic investments to expand capacity in vital community benefit organizations.
The award will honor one winner and up to three finalists who will be recognized at the 2026 AHA Leadership Summit in Denver. Members that are improving community health and well-being through leadership and community partnerships in Michigan are encouraged to apply.
Members interested in learning more are encouraged to visit the AHA website. Those with questions may contact the AHA.
