2021 Quality & Patient Safety Awards



ASHNHA is proud to announce the recipients of the 2021 Quality & Patient Safety Awards. During the pandemic, Alaska’s health care providers have worked through incredibly challenging circumstances to continue to deliver high-quality patient care programs and

support sustainable improvements in quality and patient safety. ASHNHA’s annual Quality & Patient Safety awards honor health care workers across the state. This year, the recognition comes at a critical time as health care professionals work long and demanding shifts to battle rising COVID cases and are forced to make incredibly difficult decisions as hospitalizations escalate and capacity is strained.

Congratulations to all of this year's Healthcare Champions! Thank you to Providence health & Services Alaska for sponsoring this year's awards.
