abstract: "A healthy community isn't defined just by its rates of infection or inoculation," says Lawrence White Jr., CEO of St. Patrick Hospital, a winner of this year's NOVA Awards. Working with a wide array of community and health care organizations, the five winning hospitals have tackled knotty community problems--even ones not directly related to health care--in ways that reach beyond their traditional turf.
