    ​Heart Hospital (HH) recently celebrated exceptional staff members whose daily actions reflect the hospital’s deep commitment to person-centered care through its Golden Heart Award. The award recognizes employees who consistently show empathy, kindness, and dedication - both to patients and colleagues.

    These award recipients were recognized for going beyond their professional duties to create meaningful human connections - whether by offering words of comfort, showing extraordinary patience, or being a source of support during a difficult moment. Their compassion leaves a lasting impact and contributes to the warm, healing environment that HH is known for.

    “This award is about heart - it honors those who bring compassion to every interaction. Our patients and staff feel it every day,” said by Dr. Nidal Asaad, HH CEO and Medical Director.

    The celebration was made even more meaningful by the presence of Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) members - Mr. Abdulaziz, Mr. Jeric, and Ms. Regina - who joined the award ceremony to show appreciation and support. Their participation reflects Heart Hospital’s ongoing efforts to partner with patients and families in co-creating a better care experience.

    The Golden Heart Award is more than a recognition - it is a reminder that healing begins with empathy, and that the most memorable care comes from the heart.
