Awards Sister Concilia Moran Award

For demonstrated creativity, leadership and breakthrough thinking that advances the ministry

Named for a truly visionary leader, CHA's Sister Concilia Moran Award is presented to a trailblazing thinker who demonstrates an understanding of ministry identity rooted in the church. Whether new to Catholic health care or veteran, the recipient of this award will be someone who has exercised the ability to envision and innovate, then influence and set future directions for the ministry. The honoree will have identified needs not yet seen by others and shaped circumstances into tangible opportunities for extending the healing ministry. From his/her creative direction new concepts, structures and solutions will have taken Catholic health care in new directions.
