The National Awards Program is presented by the Spirit of Women Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), that provides inspiration, guidance and stewardship to the programs of Spirit of Women and its hospitals nationwide. The Spirit of Women Foundation also oversees a small grants program to support innovative work and research in women's health.


Join Spirit of Women in celebrating women throughout the United States who dedicate themselves to making their communities, both large and small, a better place for us all.

For the past six years the Spirit of Women Awards Program has proudly recognized “ordinary women who do extraordinary things” in each of three categories: Youth Recipient, 14-21, Community Recipient, 22 and over and Healthcare Provider. Beginning on a regional level, Award Winners are selected and saluted by Spirit of Women Member hospitals across the country.

The 2004 Spirit of Women National Awards will be celebrated on May 21 at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida. Regional Spirit of Women Awards celebration events precede the National Celebration at Spirit of Women hospitals throughout the year.

Regional Winners are selected by committees coordinated by local Spirit of Women hospitals.  Regional Winners from across the United States go on to become National Nominees.  Three National Winners are selected from all National Nominees.  The National Awards selection committee is comprised of Foundation Board Members, corporate leaders, hospital representatives, and past National Award Winners.
