The Cobb2020 Partnership and the Cobb Chamber, sponsor an annual Health Hero Award recognizing qualified individuals and agencies who, through outstanding, significant and innovative activities and accomplishments, have made a significant positive impact on the health of the Cobb community.

Each year, the efforts of one individual and one business to improve and support community health and healthcare infrastructure are awarded. Through the first half of 2020, hundreds of Health Heroes have stepped up to assist local businesses and the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, displaying strong determination to protect employees and ensuring people have what they need to continue to work, live and play safely.

To be considered for the award, prospective nominees must:

1. Provide health and wellness services, support health issues, or support the healthcare workforce in Cobb County;

2. Currently live or work in Cobb County. Organizations must have a location in Cobb County; and

3. Be a member of the Cobb Chamber.
