As the only public health system in Dallas County, the community is at the heart of everything we do at Parkland. It’s been our mission for more than 120 years to provide care for anyone in need, making our community a healthier place to live.
To that end, Parkland Foundation has created the Community First Award to recognize servant leaders across industries who have impacted Dallas County through their work in the community. Each year, a class of 10 exceptional young civic-minded leaders will receive the award.
Throughout the year, award winners will be invited to a series of events to network and learn about Parkland’s critical role in the community and beyond. Events scheduled for 2018 will be:
Nominations may be made by an individual or on behalf of an individual.
Nominations that meet the criteria above will be reviewed by Parkland Foundation, for selection of 10 finalists and two alternates.
There is no fee to apply or for recipients to attend the events. We ask only that recipients use their best efforts to attend the events and to help plan a young leadership mixer for the Closing Event.
Parkland Foundation is dedicated to securing substantial financial resources that advance the goals of Parkland Health & Hospital System. Click here to read more.
