Barnabas Center won a regional “Collective Power” award from the Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida at its annual awards luncheon held in late June in Jacksonville.
The award recognizes Barnabas as a collaborative leader in Northeast Florida in making an impact in the health of those who are uninsured. This year, the Nonprofit Center presented two awards, “Collective Power” and “Social Innovation.” Each award includes a grand prize of an agency video produced by WJCT and a small cash prize provided by Florida Blue.
“Barnabas was honored to have been selected to receive this prestigious award. We have been effective in providing affordable, quality health care to uninsured adults in Nassau County because of the strong partnerships we have with many organizations, most importantly Baptist Health and Baptist Medical Center Nassau,” Wanda Lanier said as she accepted the award.
“Local Focus. Lasting Impact.” is the nonprofit community’s vision and multi-year strategy to unite and strengthen the Northeast Florida nonprofit sector.
The Nonprofit Center, with critical support from The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida and the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, developed the first-ever nonprofit sector branding campaign, focusing on the economic impact and social value delivered by local nonprofits.
