Excellence in Family-Centered Care Award
Nomination form (PDF)
Sponsored by the Family Advisory Council to recognize care providers for outstanding commitment to family-centered care. The Excellence in Family-Centered Care Award gives families an opportunity to recognize and honor care providers who demonstrate an outstanding commitment to family-centered care.
Awards are presented two times per year. Nominations must be submitted by February 15 or July 31.
What is family-centered care?
At the very heart of family-centered care is the recognition that family is the constant in a child’s life. With this, Children’s staff understand that each family has an important role on their child’s health care team.
Family-centered care is more than treating a child’s family well. Children’s goes further to respect and recognize that both staff and family bring knowledge, skills, and experience to caring for
a child.
The core concepts of family-centered care are:
- Choice
- Collaboration
- Communication
- Constancy
- Family strengths
- Flexibility
- Respect
- Support
