GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The CHP Mobile Health Team was honored as a finalist for the "Excellence in Resilience" award by the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network (MNN) at the Massachusetts State House in Boston on June 6.
CHP was among more than 130 statewide nominees for the 2023 awards, presented to organizations and employees that exemplify the most innovative, creative, and effective work being done throughout the Commonwealth.
Members of the Mobile Health team and CHP leadership attended the awards ceremony held at the Massachusetts State House.
"Our Mobile Health team is fully deserving of this recognition for its on-the-road outreach and vaccination work during the Covid-19 pandemic," said Rick Gregg, interim CEO of CHP. "With Covid-19 now in a more manageable status, this team is now expanding with broader forms of mobile health care, while keeping pace with ongoing vaccination and booster needs in our community."
Finalists were selected in the following six categories; advocacy, innovation, leadership, resilience, small nonprofit, and young professional.
CHP was founded as mobile health care in the mid-1970s, and on-the-road care has expanded as a key CHP operation. This year, CHP is adding three new mobile health vehicles to its fleet to provide additional medical care, dental care and a mobile farm stand providing fresh, free, local food.
"Our winners demonstrate that when idealism and excellence come together, the results are amazing," said Jim Klocke, the CEO of MNN. "As we recognize them, we honor the work that nonprofits across Massachusetts do every day in service to their communities. We are grateful for that work and for Citizens' continued support of the Nonprofit Excellence Awards celebration."
