LHA Trust Funds Safety Star Award
What is the Safety Star Award?
Each year, LHA Trust Funds presents three outstanding healthcare facilities and one physician's office or healthcare clinic with the Safety Star Award – a public acknowledgment of their commitment to quality and patient safety.
Since the award’s creation more than a decade ago, LHA Trust Funds has bestowed the Safety Star award to 33 Louisiana healthcare facilities along with $330,000 in monetary prizes, inspiring providers to develop innovative ideas that support safety in healthcare from year to year.
In 2023, we are focusing the LHA Malpractice and General Liability Trust Fund Safety Star Award on projects that have reduced the risk of violence in your organization. If your facility can demonstrate improved patient or visitor safety due to improved processes or programs intended to prevent violence, you are eligible to apply!
Winners of the award receive recognition at the LHA Winter Conference, paid conference registration and expenses for the CEO/Administrator, a $10,000 cash award, and paid conference registration and expenses for a designee to attend the annual American Society of Healthcare Risk Management (ASHRM) conference.
