The Abby AwardThe Abby Award was created by Abbott Northwestern to recognize outstanding community service and meaningful acts of citizenship consistent with the hospital's emphasis on building community relations.
There can be up to three Abby winners per quarter. Each winner receives a cash
award of $250 and a memento. Groups that win will share the award. The Abby may be awarded to anyone who lives, works or volunteers in the Phillips, Powderhorn Park, Whittier, Central, Lyndale, Bryant, Bancroft or Corcoran neighborhoods. The reason for nomination must be community health related. Employees of Abbott Northwestern can be nominated if their volunteer work in the community is not job-related.
Criteria for nominationsNominations must fit into one of the following categories:
Nominations will be reviewed by an ad hoc group of the Healthier Communities Task Force (HCTF) made up of community residents. This group will present recommendations to the HCTF for a final decision. All nominees who meet the criteria will be considered for the award. The ad hoc committee may decide not to recommend any nominees if none meet the criteria. There is no limit to the number of times someone may be nominated. However, each nomination must be for a different accomplishment. The accomplishment must have taken place within the past 12 months. Candidates can nominate themselves for the award. To make a nomination, please contact Joyce Krook at 612-863-4353.
Abby Award datesAnnual nomination deadline dates are: March 31, June 30, Sept. 30 and Dec. 31. Annual award recognition is held in August.
