Annually, the Office of Patient Experience recognizes faculty, staff, patients and families who go above and beyond in improving the patient experience through the Evan Newport HOPE and JOY Awards and the Celeste Castillo Lee Peer Mentoring Award.
The Evan Newport HOPE and JOY Awards were established to formally recognize the ongoing patient and family centered care practices and initiatives that are happening each day within Michigan Medicine. Read more about Evan Newport and the founding of the HOPE Awards.
