Real Care

While we are nominating and honoring the best health workers here in the U.S., The REAL Awards also honors local community health worker heroes who are working under extraordinary circumstances around the world. These health workers, often with limited training and support, are saving lives and building stronger, healthier communities every day.

Meet the frontline health workers receiving REAL Awards honors around the world nominated and selected by staff from members of the Frontline Health Workers Coalition.
