Given in recognition of distinguished service to the home medical equipment industry, HomeCare magazine's prestigious HomeCaring Awards honor those whose dedication and commitment — in any aspect of the industry — defines the “caring” that HME is all about.

This year, we invite you to nominate any individual who you feel has made a true difference in HME. And don't just tell us who they are — tell us why they deserve the HomeCaring Award. Your nominations may recognize a lifetime of quiet, dedicated service to a small community miles from the nearest metropolis. Or you may point out a person whose pursuit of excellence in service or advocacy has had a national impact.

The entries will be judged by a panel of industry professionals that includes representatives from HomeCare's Editorial Advisory Board and previous HomeCaring Award recipients. The awards will be presented at Medtrade, which will be held October 26-28, 2004, in Orlando, Fla.

Simply fill out the nomination form on the opposite page, or visit our Web site at www.homecaremag.com for a downloadable PDF of the form to print out and send in. To be considered, all nominations must be accompanied by a nomination form and must be received in HomeCare's editorial offices by Aug. 31, 2004. Mail to: HomeCare HomeCaring Awards, 6151 Powers Ferry Rd., NW, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30339. Or fax to: HomeCare HomeCaring Awards, 770/618-0204.

HomeCare is proud to acknowledge the talent and generous spirit of those who make the HME community a better place.
