2019 Awardees
At Salute! we offer three distinct awards to the individuals and/or organizations in Southeast Michigan that have dedicated their work to improving the health and wellbeing of our diverse communities.
Sy Gottleib Award: Dr. Grenae Dudley, Ph.D., President and CEO, The Youth Connection
This award was established in 1992 and recognizes Symond Gottleib, a former executive director of GDAHC. Mr. Gottleib was an outstanding leader who made numerous contributions to healthcare reform in our region. This award recognized an outstanding healthcare professional who has demonstrated sustained visionary leadership in the region.
Eagle Award for Visionary Leadership: CARE of Southeast Michigan
The Eagle Award was introduced in 2004 to honor the contributions of an organization that has made steady progress in advancing healthcare quality, access to care, and/or the cost of care.
Breakthrough Awards: Families Against Narcotics and Henry's Groceries for Health
Introduced in 2015, this award celebrates an individual and/or organization for their impact on the health and well-being of southeast Michigan through community engagement and innovations.
75th Anniversary Champion Awards
Special to our 75th birthday, we are recognizing two very special individuals who have helped to build, strength, and propel us as an organization. Both awardees are tireless champions of GDAHC and the work we do.
75th Anniversary Leadership Award: Dr. Steve Grant, GDAHC Board Chair
This award highlights Dr. Grant's dedication and hard work as our board chair over the last few years. Under Dr. Grant's leadership, we have grown tremendously as an organization and we are so pleased to be able to recognize his voracious work on our behalf.
75th Anniversary Community Champion Award: Thomas J. Adams, President, T.J. Adams Staffing, Inc.
This award not only recognizes Mr. Adams' commitment to GDAHC - which has spanned decades - but his work within the community-at-large. If you know anything about Mr. Adams', it is that he is always giving back, constantly striving to improve the lives of others. It is with great honor we present this award to him.
Sponsorships
Salute! is an amazing way to get your organization in front of our community, and it is a direct investment in our region's future by supporting transformation program and initiatives.
