FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Announced at 2018 IMPACT Awards Luncheon on May 24
PHOENIX – Phoenix Children’s Hospital and Equality Health have been named the large and small/medium Businesses of the Year by the Greater Phoenix Chamber during the 31st Annual IMPACT Awards Luncheon held Thursday, May 24 at The Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort.
Large Business of the Year: Phoenix Children’s Hospital
“The Chamber’s Business of the Year award is a testament to the Phoenix Children’s staff. They fight to find solutions and are unwilling to accept life ending diseases. They do this so that children in Arizona and all over the country have a fighting chance. We went from a pediatric unit to what we are now–an internationally ranked, specialty pediatric hospital. We’ve created the highest level of training for pediatric specialists. Regardless of all that, nothing gives us more pride than caring for our community’s children,” said Bob Meyer, CEO of Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Small/Medium Business of the Year: Equality Health
It is an honor to be selected as an exceptional innovator and as the Chamber’s Business of the Year. It affirms our unwavering desire to ensure equal health care for all, but especially for vulnerable populations,” said Hugh Lytle, Founder & CEO of Equality Health. “We saw the need to disrupt the one size fits all health care model. We’re working to meet our patients where they are on a day-to-day basis. We train our physicians on cultural competence and provide cultural care. We are putting private investment into a chronically underfunded public health care system.”
The two companies were selected out of eight local companies which are recipients of the Chamber’s IMPACT Awards, honoring the accomplishments of small and large Valley businesses and the positive influences they have on the business community and economy.
“This year’s IMPACT Award recipients are truly reflective of the strong leadership, expanding innovation and dedication to the community, that the Greater Phoenix business community is proud to be known for,” said Greater Phoenix Chamber President and CEO Todd Sanders. “These organizations will continue to serve as role models for our community and drive the growth of the Greater Phoenix region for years to come.”
