Gratitude is healing: Honor your Hero
03/31/2023
Expressing gratitude is healing, both for the giver and for the recipient. We invite you to share your gratitude in 2023 through our Banner Health Hero program. Your gift honors the health care heroes who made life better during your or a loved one’s stay in one of our medical centers and supports patient programs and services. Each Banner Health Hero receives a lapel pin to wear proudly and a certificate commemorating the honor. The Banner Health Hero award is presented by the employee’s supervisor during a shift or team meeting, bringing positive attention to your Hero among peers.
Did someone at Banner Health make sure you were especially comfortable? Provide excellent patient care? Share a laugh when you needed it most? Genuinely listen to your concerns?
