Overview of the Houston Methodist Humanitas Award
In 2021, the Jerold B. Katz Foundation donated a generous gift with the purpose of providing awards of $500 (net after taxes are deducted) to recognize and show appreciation to over 4,100+ Houston Methodist employees who have demonstrated “human kindness” in caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, in addition to front-line employees, the award has a focus on employees who supported our bedside, front-line caregivers in providing service to our patients and their families for the past 18 months. Houston Methodist leaders nominated the Humanitas awardees from a diverse group of employees (excluding VPs and executives). Awardees were notified and received the monetary Humanitas Award in Q1 of 2022. In the gift, the donor specified that all awardees will be invited to a special “drop-in” reception with hospital executives to celebrate their successful nominations, which was held on June 28, 2022.
