What are the CareStar Awards?

The CareStar Awards, an initiative of the Anchor Group (www.anchorgroupcorp.com), in collaboration with several community-based organizations, spotlights the often-overlooked contributions of healthcare workers. In 2023, our Awards honored Home Care Workers. This year, the 2024 Awards will celebrate the efforts of both Home Care and Community Health Workers in New York City.

Despite their vital role, many fail to recognize the contributions of over 130,000 Home Care Workers—comprising Home Health Aides and Personal Care Assistants—in NYC, as well as the over 6,400 Community Health Workers. These dedicated individuals make a difference every day.

The 2024 CareStar Awards recognize the crucial roles and contributions of Home Care and Community Health Workers in our communities. They provide essential care to clients, enabling them to age in place, access necessary services, and maintain their professional and social lives. In essence, Home Care and Community Health Workers are indispensable to the functioning of NYC and its healthcare system. Their ability to foster trust, build relationships, and enhance communication between patients and providers is fundamental to improving individual and community health.
