The deadline for nominating health care workers for BizWest’s Health Care Heroes program has been extended until Friday, May 7. The program, which BizWest revived this year because of the work of health-care organizations and individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic, seeks to honor those who have made special contributions during the past year. BizWest’s predecessor publications — the Boulder County Business Report and the Northern Colorado Business Report — previously conducted Health Care Heroes events, but the program has been dormant for many years. “We felt that the work performed by these people and organizations during the pandemic should not go unrecognized,” said BizWest publisher Jeff Nuttall. “This is the perfect time to revive a program that celebrates those who go above and beyond to support the health care needs of our communities.”
