The Silent Hero Awards
- Highlighting a quiet force
Preventative care is the quiet force that turns potential tragedies into invisible victories. When done right, it’s invisible. There are no alarms, no emergencies—just the quiet success of something not happening.
Preventative care is the silent foundation of safe, effective healthcare. It’s the reason wounds never form, infections don’t spread, and complications are avoided. Its power lies in its subtlety—measured not in dramatic interventions, but in the crises that never occur.
Welcome to The Silent Hero Awards – Shining a light on the unsung heroes who work tirelessly every day to prevent pressure injuries.
