America’s Essential Hospitals proudly presents Excellence and Innovation in Care: The 2021 Gage Awards, an illustrated guide to 2021 Gage Award winners, honorable mention recipients, and other noteworthy member projects to improve quality, population health, and COVID-19 care.
This guide documents the exceptional work by essential hospitals to improve the health and well-being of the people and communities they serve, including programs to reduce maternal stress, overcome housing instability, prevent workplace violence, help immigrants navigate care, and battle COVID-19.
The guide provides summaries of and, in many cases, results for winners, honorable mention recipients, and highlighted programs in the Gage Awards’ Quality and Population Health categories. It also includes eight programs highlighted as “COVID-19 Innovations,” a special category America’s Essential Hospitals added for 2021.
