Why should you submit a project?

“You never know who needs to hear your story or how sharing your team’s work might inspire someone else,” said Tiffany Delias, Ballad Health’s director of Digital Performance Media & Consumer Engagement. She was on the project team that received the 2026 Chairman’s Award.

“The process is also a chance to reflect on how far you’ve come, recognize the people who helped you get there and celebrate the impact you’re making together,” Tiffany said.

Recognition for a project’s success is a way to showcase the great work of our team members and to understand how meaningful the work is to our patients, team members and community.

“Seeing something that began as an idea turn into a process that helps real people in the community has been incredibly rewarding,” Tiffany said. “I genuinely believe in this work and the difference it can make, so seeing it recognized at the Excellence Awards was such an honor.

“It also reminds me that meaningful change often starts with one idea and grows when others believe in it, too. You don’t always know where an idea will lead when you start, but sometimes the work you believe in most ends up making a bigger difference than you ever expected.”
