UHA Dinner

We had a pretty awesome weekend!! We got to go up to the Homestead Resort up by Heber to attend an award ceremony/dinner that the Utah Hospital Assosiation put on to award people in the heathcare industry for the state of Utah. My dad got one of their highest honors this year so we all went to support him. It was alot of fun and he is always very deserving of these awards. He works really hard and is a huge asset to the hospital. I looked it up online to see what exactly it meant to receive the "distinguished hospital executive award" and this was what I found. Pretty awesome that my dad was the one who got it this year out of all the people that were nominated. Here is what the UHA website said about it though:

"The “Distinguished Hospital Executive Award” is the Association’s highest honor for outstanding hospital executives who have distinguished themselves through their contributions to the healthcare industry and their profession, who are leaders in providing quality healthcare services, and who are active in UHA and related industry organizations and causes.
Each recipient will have demonstrated a standard of excellence in leadership, service and professional achievement that exemplifies UHA’s commitment to the healthcare industry
and the citizens of Utah.

To be eligible, the nominee must be an active chief executive or chief operating officer of a I, II or III member (licensed hospital) or have held such a position within the previous three years, and must have made significant contributions to the healthcare industry. Specifically, the nominee will be evaluated on the basis of demonstrated hospital administration excellence and professional performance, and must have made recognizable contributions to UHA and to the healthcare industry. These include UHA and its affiliated organizations, task forces, committees and councils, the American Hospital Association, Federation of American Healthcare Systems, the American College of Healthcare Executives, The Health Forum or any other local or regional organizations.

The nominee’s role of providing healthcare services to the general public will be measured by the excellence of the institution’s staff and employees, and the quality of services provided. Leadership and service may be exemplified by total career achievements of by highly visible contributions in a relatively short period of time."

Any who..I pretty much have the coolest dad ever... as always. :) here's some photos I took from the dinner.. enjoy! :)
