January 25, 2012 (San Diego's East County)--The Grossmont Healthcare District (GHD) seeks nominations for its 2012 Healthcare Hero Awards, GHD’s annual awards program that honors East County residents whose volunteer efforts help advance delivery of quality healthcare in the East County region.

Nomination forms are available at www.grossmonthealthcare.org. Deadline for submission of entries is 3 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 27 at the GHD offices, 9001 Wakarusa St., in La Mesa.

Nominees for a 2012 Healthcare Hero Award can include front-line volunteer caregivers, including volunteers at community clinics, junior volunteers, auxiliary members, healthcare educators and pastoral care providers, as well as members of service clubs, community groups and advocacy or policy organizations. Nominees also can include first-responders and other healthcare professionals who volunteer their time beyond their regular scope of job responsibilities, according to Debbie McElravy, GHD 2012 board president.

“We solicit the assistance of all East County residents because we want to recognize those unsung heroes of healthcare whose work might not otherwise be recognized,” said McElravy. “We want to honor those volunteers whose extraordinary care and selfless dedication inspires others to produce measurable outcomes that provide for a healthier East County community.”

For more information about the 2012 Healthcare Hero Awards, phone the GHD offices at (619) 825-5050. GHD will present its sixth annual Healthcare Hero Awards at a luncheon to be held on Wednesday, May 16, 2012, at Sycuan Resort in El Cajon.
