Each year, the Daniel L. Gross Spirit of Caring Award honors Sharp caregivers who go above and beyond for our patients and their families. The award was created in 1987 and renamed in 2020 to honor Dan Gross — a registered nurse and former Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer who served Sharp for 40 years. It recognizes caregivers in patient-centered roles who show compassion, dedication and exceptional service.

Recipients are selected by a committee through employee nominations from across the system. Because of a memorial endowment at Sharp HealthCare Foundation, each honoree receives a scholarship to support their ongoing professional growth. Please join us in congratulating this year’s outstanding award recipients for their extraordinary dedication and unwavering spirit of caring.
