Community Service Award

Each year, the Genesis HealthCare Foundation recognizes an outstanding person in our community who has made a difference through volunteer service. Nominations are accepted from the public, and a committee selects the recipient, who doesn’t need ties to Genesis but should exemplify the Genesis values of compassion, trust, innovation and excellence.
