Stars of the field. The AHA awards issue: beyond the call of duty

Even as they confront the many challenges of a transforming health care system, American hospitals are keeping their focus where it's always been: on the health and well-being of the communities they serve. In our third annual awards issue, we spotlight organizations that are leading outstanding programs to meet the special needs of their populations, working with others in the community and modeling practices that can be replicated by providers across the country.
