A new way to say thanks

Champions of Care

Champions of Care is a wonderful way to say thanks to an entire team or health professional for the care, compassion and support you or your loved one received.

Each champion will receive a pin to wear with pride and a framed certificate with your personal message.

“Being recognized as a Champion of Care means so much.”

Dr. Dina Kao

Sometimes someone makes a real impression – the nurse whose skill and compassion helped you through your recovery journey, the surgeon who saved your life, or the person who gave you a smile and a kind word when you needed it most. Now there’s a whole new way to say thanks!

Your donation to the University Hospital Foundation’s Champions of Care program provides a personal way to say thank you to the person or team who made an impression.

How will your Champion of Care be recognized?
