Due to the growing concerns in the community related to the potential Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the DFW Hospital Council Foundation has decided to postpone its 24th Annual Employee of the Year Luncheon originally scheduled for Thursday, April 23.

The luncheon will now take place in September at the same location at Hurst Conference Center. Keynote Speaker Christine Cashen will also be a part of the event. The new date of the luncheon will be announced next week. The deadline for nominations will also be extended, with a new deadline soon to be determined.

The Employee of the Year Luncheon is an annual event honoring exceptional hospital employees in North Texas. In the tradition of an awards show, winners are announced at the luncheon and asked to come to the stage to receive their award.

“After long consideration, we decided the health of the community and our many exceptional hospital employees was crucial at this difficult time,” said Jennifer Miff, president of the DFWHC Foundation. “North Texas hospitals are working closely with county health departments to ensure adherence to the regulations for the best public health of our communities. This is not the time for a celebration of quality healthcare. It’s time for all of us to work together to ensure the health and safety of our community.”
