2020 Community Leader Award Winners: UPMC Hanover and WellSpan Health

The Community Leader Award is a special award--it is not given out on an annual basis, but on occasions when the Chamber feels that an individual or business has gone above and beyond to serve our community. In our nearly 100 years, we have only presented this award a handful of times.

The staff and board of directors for the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce awarded the 2020 Community Leader Award to WellSpan Health and UPMC Hanover.

Over the past year, our healthcare workers have faced challenges like they have never seen. A year into the pandemic, these workers continue to stand on the frontlines battling the COVID-19 virus. They have continued to put themselves in the path of this virus day in and day out during this unprecedented crisis. Our doctors, nurses, technicians, EMTs, pharmacists—every single worker who supports patient care—has risen to the occasion.

The Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce presents this award to WellSpan Health and UPMC Hanover to thank them for the sacrifices their staff makes daily, but especially throughout this pandemic. Their dedication and commitment to our community deserves our deepest gratitude and admiration, and their diligence has saved countless lives.

Please join us on thanking and congratulating these healthcare heroes.

The Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce held its Annual Business Awards Ceremony virtually throughout the month of March. The event was presented by APPI Energy and KLK Welding.
