Above and beyond. It’s a phrase that may be a bit worn around the edges, but in the hands of a compassionate and motivated healthcare professional, it can be an incredibly powerful force for good.
That’s the idea behind CAPtivating Causes, CAP’s community service program, and our annual Community Hero and Community Leadership Awards. Since 2019, these awards have celebrated the extraordinary efforts of CAP members who provide critical medical care to patients in need and also go above and beyond the call of duty to make a difference in their communities.
CAP values the active engagement of our physician members in their communities, throughout the state of California. Our CAPtivating Causes program is a way to shine a spotlight on their charitable service and encourage other physician members to join in the effort.
For 2022, we’re particularly interested in hearing the stories of members have been volunteering their time and talents through a charitable organization to make a real difference in our communities.
Who’s Your Hero?
When you think “above-and-beyond community service,” who among your CAP-member colleagues comes to mind? (Self-nominations are welcome.) Please take a moment to share that person’s story with us, then submit your nomination to Communications@CAPphysicians.com.
Your nomination must include the name of the physician (CAP members only, please), and a statement that identifies the charitable organization and summarizes the nature and scope of your nominee’s service through that organization. We must receive your nomination statement no later than August 31, 2022.
If you have a nominee in mind who is not yet a CAP member, this is a great opportunity to make a referral! Please contact Membership Development at 800-356-5672 or MD@CAPphysicians.com.
A Win-Win for the Community
Our 2022 Community Hero Award recipient will not only receive personal recognition, but will also earn a $5,000 grant for the associated charitable organization. One runner-up will receive CAP’s Community Leadership Award, which includes a $1,000 grant for the associated charitable organization.
All nominations will be thoroughly vetted, and winners will be selected by a team of CAP employees, the CAP Membership Engagement and Education Committee, and CAP’s Board of Directors. We will announce the recipients of the Community Hero Award and the Community Leadership Award by December 31, 2022. Awards will be issued in January 2023.
