HOPE and JOY Awards are presented by the Office of Patient Experience (OPE) to recognize the individuals and teams who deliver exceptional patient and family centered care. Check out a recap of the 2022 winners!
Please note, OPE has made some changes for the upcoming awards. OPE will present next awards during Patient Experience Week 2024 and continue that tradition in future years.
That means that starting this year, nominations for HOPE and JOY Awards will be open throughout the year. To be eligible for the 2024 award celebration, all nominations must be submitted by February 2024. All nominations submitted after February will be included for consideration in 2025.
To submit a nomination, please select the appropriate category:
The HOPE Award is open to all faculty, staff and teams at Michigan Medicine. Submit a nomination here.
The JOY award is open to any patient or family advisor/volunteer who has made a significant impact through their work. Submit a nomination here.
The Celeste Castillo Lee Peer Mentor Award is presented to peer mentors who support other patients and families who are experiencing similar medical conditions, surgeries and diagnosis.
