ACE Awards
Advancement. Commitment. Engagement.
As part of the evolution of the HBA’s awards portfolio, the ACE Awards program has been retired. For 19 years, the program recognized initiatives that advanced workforce excellence and opportunity across healthcare and life sciences, leaving a lasting legacy of impact.
We are deeply appreciative of the organizations, partners, and leaders whose programs helped shape and strengthen the healthcare and life sciences workforce worldwide.
In 2026, the HBA introduced the Global Impact Award to recognize organizations for enterprise-wide impact across leadership, innovation, business outcomes, and global collaboration. The award builds on the strong foundation established by the ACE Awards while reflecting the broader ways organizations drive impact and outcomes today.
Corporate partner discounts previously tied to ACE Awards submissions will be applied toward a Global Impact Award submission when nominations open in September 2026.
